Hohmann transfer budget: Arrival burn keeps its sign · case 02

Inward transfers report a negative arrival burn and a reduced total.

Case contract

Input [r1, r2, mu] circular radii. Transfer a=(r1+r2)/2; burn 1 = |v_peri - v_circ1|, burn 2 = |v_circ2 - v_apo| using vis-viva at each end; time of flight is half the transfer period. Works inward (r2<r1) too. Return [dv1, dv2, total] rounded 6 and tof rounded 3.

Why this case matters

Orbit determination and mission planning chain many small conversions; one wrong branch or unit silently moves a spacecraft by kilometres.

One recorded failure
