Function: hohmannSemiMajorAxis()

function hohmannSemiMajorAxis(r1: number, r2: number): number;

Defined in: manoeuvres/hohmann-transfer.ts:114

Convenience: compute only the semi-major axis ($a_t$) (m) of the Hohmann transfer.

$a_t=\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}$

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
r1	number	Initial circular-orbit radius (m).
r2	number	Target circular-orbit radius (m).

Returns

number

($a_t$) (m).

Throws

On invalid inputs.
