Co-orbital phasing manoeuvre: Chaser raises its orbit to catch a target ahead · case 04

The target gets further ahead after the phasing orbit.

Case contract

Input [r, theta, k, mu, rmin]: circular radius, target lead angle in degrees (positive = target ahead), k phasing revolutions. Phasing period Tph=T-theta_rad/(k n). a_ph from Tph; total dv = 2|v_ph(r)-v_circ| with vis-viva at r. Return None if the phasing perigee 2a_ph-r is below rmin, else [a_ph rounded 3, dv rounded 6, k*Tph 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
