Module 2 of our proprietary Flight Systems Software package is almost ready for it's initial release.
What the program displays while on the ground(Droo).
The calculator is relatively simple. First, some general assumptions are made:
Drag is negligible and therefore ignored
Both starting and ending orbits are considered "circular"
Hohmann Transfer will be completed using only 2 impulsive burns(one to enter the transfer orbit and one to enter the final orbit)
Then, using the equation v=sqrtµ(2/r-1/a) as a starting point, it calculates the necessary velocities for each leg of the transfer and uses that to determine necessary ?v for each burn as well as the total ?v for the maneuver.

For clarity: ?v is ∆v. For some reason it gets changed to ?v in the post itself, but stays ∆v in the comments 🤷🤦
