Solving the Hohmann transfer with the HP Prime - cdeaglejr - 09-13-2022 05:23 PM
// program hohmann HP Prime
// September 13, 2022
// this program solves the Hohmann two impulse orbital transfer
// between planar and non-coplanar circular Earth orbits
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This program will request the altitude and orbital inclinations of the initial and final orbits with the following prompts. Please note the proper units for each input.
// request altitude of initial circular orbit (kilometers)
INPUT(alt1, "Hohmann transfer", "alt1 = ", "enter initial altitude in kilometers");
// request altitude of final circular orbit (kilometers)
INPUT(alt2, "Hohmann transfer", "alt2", "enter final altitude in kilometers");
// request inclination of initial circular orbit (degrees)
INPUT(inc1, "Hohmann transfer", "inc1 = ", "enter initial inclination in degrees");
// request inclination of final circular orbit (degrees)
INPUT(inc2, "Hohmann transfer", "inc2 = ", "enter final inclination in degrees");
A PDF document which describes the orbital mechanics of the Hohmann transfer is included in the zip archive.
