Circular Orbit Inclination Change
Where both orbits are circular (i.e. = 0) and have the same radius the Delta-v required for an inclination change can be calculated using:
Where:
- is the orbital velocity and has the same units as

Famous quotes containing the words circular, orbit, inclination and/or change:
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”

“The human spirit is itself the most wonderful fairy tale that can possibly be. What a magnificent world lies enclosed within our bosoms! No solar orbit hems it in, the inexhaustible wealth of the total visible creation is outweighed by its riches!”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
“A man ought to read just as his inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“When man has nothing but his will to assert—even his good-will—it is always bullying. Bolshevism is one sort of bullying, capitalism another: and liberty is a change of chains.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
