Their one-way delta-v budgets from LEO range upwards from 3.8 km/s (12,000 ft/s), which is less than 2/3 of the delta-v needed to reach the Moon's surface. [10] But NEOs with low delta-v budgets have long synodic periods, and the intervals between times of closest approach to the Earth (and thus most efficient missions) can be decades long. [11 ...
Delta-v is typically provided by the thrust of a rocket engine, but can be created by other engines. The time-rate of change of delta-v is the magnitude of the acceleration caused by the engines, i.e., the thrust per total vehicle mass. The actual acceleration vector would be found by adding thrust per mass on to the gravity vector and the ...
The chart shows the characteristic energy ranges in zones around the local minima, which resembles the shape of a porkchop slice. By examining the results of the porkchop plot, engineers can determine when a launch opportunity exists (a ' launch window ') that is compatible with the capabilities of a particular spacecraft.

In some cases, it can require less total delta-v to raise the satellite into a higher orbit, change the orbit plane at the higher apogee, and then lower the satellite to its original altitude. [1] For the most efficient example mentioned above, targeting an inclination at apoapsis also changes the argument of periapsis.
