DVOCCapt:

Path: Orbit/OrbitManeuver

% Computes the optimal circular capture radius and delta-v.
   This can be used for heliocentric to planetary captures or 
   moon captures.

   Since version 1.

   Form:
   [dV, rP] = DVOCCapt( muS, muP, r, v )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   muS         (1,1)     Gravitational parameter of the central body
   muP         (1,1)     Gravitational parameter of the target body
   r           (1,1)     Target body orbit radius referenced to the center
   v           (1,:)     The central body velocity of the spacecraft

   -------
   Outputs
   ------
   dV          (1,:)     Minimum delta-v
   rP          (1,:)     Optimal circular radius about the target
