| - | ====== Orbital Calculator 2.0.4 Release ====== | ||
| - | [{{ : | ||
| - | Added three new calculations: | ||
| - | - Distances between stars (using start-chart coordinates) | ||
| - | - Apparent magnitude of stars from other stars | ||
| - | - Hohmann Transfer Orbits | ||
| - | === === | ||
| - | Hohmann transfer orbits allow migration from a lower to a higher orbit or vice-versa. When used for interplanetary travel, these are solar orbits, but this kind of orbit can be used to move satellites to a higher altitude (or bring them back to a lower one). | ||
| - | |||
| - | The distances between stars is calculated from star-chart coordinates by first converting from the spherical coordinate system to a rectangular one. The apparent magnitude of the two stars (from each other) is calculated at the same time. | ||
