DISCIPLINES COVERED

From governing equations to a bounded result

(01)

Aerodynamics & flight mechanics

Lift, drag, stability derivatives, trim states — from governing flow equations with the validity regime declared.

(02)

Thermal & TPS sizing

Aerothermal loads, stagnation heating, radiator and thermal-protection sizing with margins stated.

(03)

Structures & loads

Load paths, stress and buckling checks, factors of safety against the declared load cases.

(04)

Orbital mechanics

Transfers, rendezvous, station-keeping budgets — two-body through perturbed propagation.

(05)

Propulsion performance

Nozzle and cycle analysis, Isp and thrust budgets, propellant sizing across the mission profile.

(06)

Control & stability

Linearized models, gain and phase margins, handling-qualities checks with the model limits shown.

A WORKED RESULT

A computation you can audit

ARITHMOS reports the governing equation, the stated assumptions, the numerical result, and the range over which it holds — so the figure can be examined and reproduced, not merely accepted.

ARITHMOS · ORBITAL MECHANICS · HOHMANN TRANSFER

EQUATION Δv₁ = √(μ/r₁) · ( √( 2r₂ / (r₁+r₂) ) − 1 )

ASSUME two-body · impulsive burns · coplanar circular orbits

INPUT r₁ = 6 778 km (LEO 400 km) → r₂ = 42 164 km (GEO)

DERIVE aₜ = ½(r₁+r₂) = 24 471 km · v₁ = 7.669 km/s

RESULT Δv₁ = 2.397 · Δv₂ = 1.457 · Δv_total = 3.854 km/s

VALIDITY coplanar circular · errors grow with eccentricity > 0.01

VERIFIED · TRACEABLE TO FIRST PRINCIPLES
