 Replace dynamic spacecraft spawning with config-based LEO spacecraft, implement patched conics impulse burn for Hohmann transfer, and add comprehensive test verification.
 
 **Date:** January 18, 2026
-**Status:** Ready to implement
+**Status:** partially implemented
 **Branch:** mission-planning

-## Phase 0: Git Workflow Preparation
-
-### Step 0.1: Stash debug changes on main
-```bash
-git stash push -m "Debug printf statements for spacecraft parent switch investigation"
-```
-
-### Step 0.2: Checkout and update mission-planning branch
-```bash
-git checkout mission-planning
-git rebase main  # Or git merge main if cleaner
-```
-
-### Step 0.3: Apply debug changes to mission-planning branch
-```bash
-git stash list  # Verify stash exists
-git stash pop  # Apply debug changes
-```
-
-**Verification**: Confirm debug printf statements are in `src/simulation.cpp` after applying stash

 ## Phase 1: Update Configuration File
 
 ### Step 1.1: Add spacecraft to `tests/configs/earth_mars_simple.toml`

-## Phase 4: Build and Test
-
-### Step 4.1: Update Makefile (if needed)
-
-Verify `mission_planning.o` is in OBJECTS list and build rule exists.
-
-### Step 4.2: Build test executable
-```bash
-make clean
-make test-build
-```
-
-### Step 4.3: Run comprehensive test
-```bash
-./orbit_test -s 'Earth → Mars Hohmann Transfer with LEO Spacecraft'
-```
-
-### Step 4.4: Verify all tests still pass
-```bash
-make test
-```

-
-## Phase 5: Cleanup and Documentation
-
-### Step 5.1: Remove deprecated function
-Remove `spawn_spacecraft_on_transfer()` from:
-- `src/mission_planning.h`
-- `src/mission_planning.cpp`
-
-### Step 5.2: Update mission planning documentation
-
-Update `docs/mission_planning.md`:
-- Mark Phase 4 as complete
-- Note config-based approach implemented
-- Document patched conics impulse burn
-- Remove spawn_spacecraft_on_transfer references
-
-### Step 5.3: Add TODO comment for config format
-
-Add in `docs/mission_planning.md`:
-```
-TODO: Future config file format improvements:
-- Support Earth-relative position specification (e.g., { altitude_km = 200.0 })
-- Support Earth-relative orbit specification (e.g., { orbit_type = "circular" })
-- More intuitive spacecraft mission parameters
