PAHohmn:

Path: Orbit/OrbitMechanics

% Computes the phase angles for a Hohmann intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [phi1, phi2] = PAHohmn( R1, R2, mu )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   R1                    Orbit radius 1
   R2                    Orbit radius 2 (target)
   mu                    Gravitational parameter

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   phi1                  phase angle between 1 and 2 at launch
                         + implies 2 leads 1
   phi2                  phase angle between 1 and 2 at intercept
                         + implies 1 leads 2
