The spacecraft will travel more than 180 degrees around the Sun in its transfer orbit, which requires 10 months to set the stage for Mars Orbit Insertion in September 2014. version 1.2.0.0 (371 KB) by David Eagle. MAVEN was launched into a Hohmann Transfer Orbit with periapsis at Earth’s orbit and apoapsis at the distance of the orbit of Mars. In the 1920s, German engineer Walter Hohmann, inspired by science fiction, calculated the most efficient way to move to a higher orbit. This includes the delta V to move to a higher orbit, and then circularize the orbit once the craft gets there. The transfer orbit is treated as a simple Keplerian ellipse around the Sun. Semi-major axis. The perturbations by the Earth, the target planet, and all the other bodies in the Solar system are neglected. The craft V is sufficient to achieve a figure-of-eight orbit - i.e. 2. In a book published in 1925 (written in 1916), Hohmann demonstrated a very fuel-efficient path to move a spacecraft between two different orbits, now called a Hohmann transfer orbit. 28 Downloads. Updated 12 Jul 2013. Eccentricity.
The orbit is an elliptical one, where the periapsis is at Earth's distance from the Sun and the apoapsis is at Mars' distance from the Sun. A Hohmann Transfer is a very common orbital maneuver used by astrophysicists to send a spacecraft from a small circular orbit to a larger one. × New Orbital Body. Show advanced settings... Latest departure. It is constructed by determining a two-body Keplerian ellipse from an Earth parking orbit to the orbit of the moon.

Reference body. to days.

The applet computes and displays the orbit of a spacecraft sent off from the Earth's orbit to travel to an inner or outer planet of the solar system.

km. A Hohmann Transfer is initiated to a 'random' destination altitude. Walter Hohmann (March 18, 1880 - March 11, 1945) was a German space flight engineer who made an important contribution to the understanding of orbital dynamics. Icons by Glyphicons. A Hohmann transfer orbit can take a spacecraft from Earth to Mars.
Transfer type. This type of transfer uses only 2-body dynamics. Body type. See Figure 1(a). The Hohmann transfer is the most commonly used method to move a spaceship from a lower orbit to a higher one. Earth and Mars align properly for a Hohmann transfer … The transfer orbit has to be timed so that when the spacecraft departs Earth, it will arrive at its orbit apoapsis when Mars is at the same position in its orbit.
