Implement config-based spacecraft with LEO initialization and impulse burn 

- Add spacecraft body to earth_mars_simple.toml config file
- Implement initialize_spacecraft_leo() to set circular LEO at 200km altitude
- Implement apply_transfer_burn() for Hohmann transfer impulse burn
- Implement calculate_phase_angle() for launch window verification
- Add comprehensive test case with SOI transition tracking
- Preserve debug printf statements from main branch investigation
- LEO initialization verified: position, velocity, energy all correct
- Issue identified: delta-v calculation doesn't account for spacecraft LEO phase
- Test completes 8/9 assertions (fails post-burn energy check)
- Session documented in docs/leospacecraft_impulse_burn_plan.md

# Implementation Plan: Config-Based Spacecraft with Impulse Burn
## Overview
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
**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`
Append to config file:
```toml
[[bodies]]
name = "Spacecraft"
mass = 1.0
radius = 1000.0
# Position and velocity will be initialized at runtime for LEO orbit
position = { x = 0.0, y = 0.0, z = 0.0 }
velocity = { x = 0.0, y = 0.0, z = 0.0 }
parent_index = 1 # Earth
color = { r = 1.0, g = 0.0, b = 0.5 }
eccentricity = 0.0
# Semi-major axis will be: Earth radius + 200km
semi_major_axis = 6.571e6 # Placeholder, will be set during initialization
```
**Note**: Position/velocity are placeholders; will be calculated by `initialize_spacecraft_leo()` at runtime.
**TODO**: Future config file format should support:
- Earth-relative position (e.g., `{ altitude_km = 200.0 }`)
- Earth-relative velocity (e.g., `{ orbit_type = "circular" }`)
- More intuitive spacecraft mission parameters
---
## Phase 2: Mission Planning Module - New Functions
### Step 2.1: Add function declarations to `src/mission_planning.h`
```cpp
// Initialize spacecraft in circular LEO around parent body
void initialize_spacecraft_leo(CelestialBody* spacecraft, CelestialBody* parent,
double altitude_m);
// Apply patched conics impulse burn for Hohmann transfer
void apply_transfer_burn(SimulationState* sim, int spacecraft_idx,
int departure_idx, TransferParameters* params);
// Helper: Calculate current phase angle between two bodies (in degrees)
double calculate_phase_angle(SimulationState* sim, int departure_idx, int arrival_idx);
```
### Step 2.2: Implement `initialize_spacecraft_leo()` in `src/mission_planning.cpp`
**Algorithm**:
```cpp
void initialize_spacecraft_leo(CelestialBody* spacecraft, CelestialBody* parent,
double altitude_m) {
// Calculate orbital radius (distance from Earth center)
double orbital_radius = parent->radius + altitude_m;
// Position spacecraft radially outward from Earth-Sun line
// Get vector from Sun to Earth
Vec3 sun_to_earth = vec3_sub(parent->position,
(Vec3){0.0, 0.0, 0.0}); // Sun at origin
Vec3 direction = vec3_normalize(sun_to_earth);
// Position: Earth position + offset radially outward
Vec3 offset = vec3_scale(direction, orbital_radius);
spacecraft->position = vec3_add(parent->position, offset);
// Initialize local coordinates (relative to parent)
spacecraft->local_position = offset;
spacecraft->local_velocity = (Vec3){0.0, 0.0, 0.0}; // Will be set below
// Calculate circular LEO velocity magnitude
double v_leo = sqrt(G * parent->mass / orbital_radius);
// Direction: tangential to Earth-Sun line (prograde)
// If sun_to_earth = (x, y, 0), then tangent = (-y, x, 0)
Vec3 leo_tangent = (Vec3){-direction.y, direction.x, 0.0};
Vec3 leo_velocity = vec3_scale(leo_tangent, v_leo);
// Spacecraft velocity = Earth velocity + LEO velocity
spacecraft->velocity = vec3_add(parent->velocity, leo_velocity);
// Local velocity relative to Earth = LEO velocity only
spacecraft->local_velocity = leo_velocity;
// Update semi-major axis for reference
spacecraft->semi_major_axis = orbital_radius;
// SOI will be calculated by config loader
}
```
**Key Points**:
- Spacecraft positioned radially outward from Sun (any position is acceptable)
- LEO orbit is circular at 200km altitude
- Prograde orientation (same direction as Earth's orbital velocity)
- Both local and global coordinates set correctly
### Step 2.3: Implement `calculate_phase_angle()` in `src/mission_planning.cpp`
**Algorithm**:
```cpp
double calculate_phase_angle(SimulationState* sim, int departure_idx, int arrival_idx) {
CelestialBody* departure = &sim->bodies[departure_idx];
CelestialBody* arrival = &sim->bodies[arrival_idx];
CelestialBody* sun = &sim->bodies[0]; // Assume Sun at index 0
// Calculate angular positions relative to Sun
double theta_depart = calculate_angular_position(departure, sun);
double theta_arrival = calculate_angular_position(arrival, sun);
// Calculate phase difference
double phase_rad = theta_arrival - theta_depart;
// Normalize to [0, 2π)
while (phase_rad < 0.0) {
phase_rad += 2.0 * M_PI;
}
while (phase_rad >= 2.0 * M_PI) {
phase_rad -= 2.0 * M_PI;
}
// Convert to degrees
return phase_rad * 180.0 / M_PI;
}
```
### Step 2.4: Implement `apply_transfer_burn()` in `src/mission_planning.cpp`
**Algorithm (Patched Conics Approach)**:
```cpp
void apply_transfer_burn(SimulationState* sim, int spacecraft_idx,
int departure_idx, TransferParameters* params) {
CelestialBody* spacecraft = &sim->bodies[spacecraft_idx];
CelestialBody* departure = &sim->bodies[departure_idx];
CelestialBody* sun = &sim->bodies[0]; // Assume Sun at index 0
// Calculate required heliocentric transfer velocity
// v_transfer = params->departure_velocity
// Direction: prograde (tangential to Earth-Sun line)
Vec3 sun_to_earth = vec3_sub(departure->position, sun->position);
Vec3 sun_to_earth_norm = vec3_normalize(sun_to_earth);
// Tangent direction (prograde): (-y, x, 0)
Vec3 transfer_dir = (Vec3){-sun_to_earth_norm.y, sun_to_earth_norm.x, 0.0};
Vec3 v_transfer_helio = vec3_scale(transfer_dir, params->departure_velocity);
// Current heliocentric velocity
Vec3 current_helio = spacecraft->velocity;
// Calculate total Δv to apply
Vec3 delta_v = vec3_sub(v_transfer_helio, current_helio);
// Apply impulse burn
spacecraft->velocity = vec3_add(spacecraft->velocity, delta_v);
// Update local velocity
spacecraft->local_velocity = vec3_sub(spacecraft->velocity, departure->velocity);
// Print burn information
printf("Transfer burn applied:\n");
printf(" Current heliocentric velocity: (%.2f, %.2f, %.2f) m/s\n",
current_helio.x, current_helio.y, current_helio.z);
printf(" Target heliocentric velocity: (%.2f, %.2f, %.2f) m/s\n",
v_transfer_helio.x, v_transfer_helio.y, v_transfer_helio.z);
printf(" Delta-v: (%.2f, %.2f, %.2f) m/s\n",
delta_v.x, delta_v.y, delta_v.z);
printf(" Delta-v magnitude: %.2f m/s (%.3f km/s)\n",
vec3_magnitude(delta_v), vec3_magnitude(delta_v) / 1000.0);
}
```
**Note**: This is a simplified single-impulse approach. A true patched conics calculation would:
1. Calculate Δv to reach SOI boundary (escape trajectory)
2. Calculate velocity at SOI boundary
3. Add transfer Δv at SOI boundary
4. Combine into equivalent single impulse
For initial implementation, we'll use single impulse as approximation.

## Current Issue Identified
### Problem: Incorrect Delta-V Direction After Multi-Day Wait
**Symptom:**
- Spacecraft enters LEO orbit correctly with negative energy (bound to Earth)
- Waits 94 days for Earth-Mars launch window
- During wait period, spacecraft completes ~6.3 LEO orbits
- LEO orbit phase changes significantly over 94 days
- After wait, `apply_transfer_burn()` applies delta-v assuming spacecraft is at Earth's current orbital phase
- Result: Delta-v applied in wrong direction, resulting in retrograde burn
- Post-burn energy remains negative (spacecraft still bound to Earth)
**Root Cause Analysis:**
The `apply_transfer_burn()` function calculates:
1. Required heliocentric transfer velocity magnitude: `v_transfer = 32,697 m/s`
2. Prograde direction based on Earth's current position: `transfer_dir = prograde(t_current)`
3. Target velocity: `v_target = v_transfer * transfer_dir`
However, after 94 days:
- Earth has moved to different orbital phase
- Spacecraft in LEO is still orbiting Earth
- Spacecraft's current heliocentric velocity includes Earth's motion + LEO motion
- The calculated transfer direction is based on Earth's instantaneous position, not spacecraft's actual heliocentric velocity vector
- This results in delta-v that doesn't account for spacecraft's phase in LEO
**What Should Happen:**
1. Calculate spacecraft's current heliocentric velocity vector: `v_current`
2. Calculate required heliocentric velocity for transfer orbit: `v_transfer`
3. Apply delta-v: `Δv = v_transfer - v_current` (vector subtraction, not magnitude-based)
**What Currently Happens:**
1. Assumes spacecraft starts at Earth's orbital position (ignores LEO phase)
2. Calculates transfer direction based on Earth's current prograde vector
3. Applies magnitude-based delta-v without considering spacecraft's actual velocity direction
4. Results in incorrect burn direction
### Solution Required
Modify `apply_transfer_burn()` to:
1. **Calculate spacecraft's actual heliocentric velocity:**
```cpp
Vec3 v_current_helio = spacecraft->velocity; // Already in global frame
```
2. **Calculate required heliocentric transfer velocity:**
```cpp
double v_transfer_mag = params->departure_velocity; // ~32,697 m/s
// Direction: prograde to Sun (same as Earth's orbital direction)
Vec3 sun_to_earth = vec3_sub(departure->position, sun->position);
Vec3 sun_to_earth_norm = vec3_normalize(sun_to_earth);
Vec3 transfer_dir = (Vec3){-sun_to_earth_norm.y, sun_to_earth_norm.x, 0.0};
Vec3 v_transfer_helio = vec3_scale(transfer_dir, v_transfer_mag);
```
3. **Calculate delta-v as vector difference:**
```cpp
Vec3 delta_v = vec3_sub(v_transfer_helio, v_current_helio);
```
4. **Apply impulse:**
```cpp
spacecraft->velocity = vec3_add(spacecraft->velocity, delta_v);
spacecraft->local_velocity = vec3_sub(spacecraft->velocity, departure->velocity);
```
**This approach:**
- Accounts for spacecraft's actual heliocentric velocity (includes LEO phase)
- Uses vector subtraction instead of magnitude-based calculation
- Produces correct delta-v direction regardless of LEO phase
- Should result in positive post-burn energy (escape trajectory)
---
## Potential Issues and Mitigation
### Issue 1: LEO Orbit Position Sensitivity
Spacecraft LEO phase may affect optimal launch window timing.
**Mitigation**: Test shows we wait for Earth-Mars phase angle, not spacecraft-LEO phase. This should be acceptable.
### Issue 2: Impulse Burn Accuracy
Single-impulse approximation may not match true patched conics trajectory.
**Mitigation**: Initial test focuses on Earth→Sun transition and energy conservation. If needed, can refine to two-impulse burn in future.
### Issue 3: Mars SOI Entry
Spacecraft may not enter Mars SOI due to:
- Phase angle tolerance (1°)
- Transfer time approximation
- Impulse burn simplifications
**Mitigation**: Test includes explicit INFO messages and requires only Earth→Sun transition, not Mars arrival.
---
