Attributes
----------
impulses : list of tuple
List of (time_offset, delta_v) pairs where:
- time_offset: float (seconds) or Duration object

Create a Hohmann transfer maneuver to a circular orbit.
A Hohmann transfer is the most fuel-efficient two-impulse transfer
between coplanar circular orbits.
Parameters
----------
orbit_i : Orbit
Initial circular orbit
r_f : float
Final orbit radius (meters, measured from center of attractor)
Returns
-------
Maneuver
Two-impulse maneuver for Hohmann transfer
Raises
------
ValueError

Examples
--------
>>> from astrora.twobody import Orbit
>>> from astrora.bodies import Earth
>>>
>>> # LEO to GEO transfer
>>> leo = Orbit.from_classical(Earth, a=6778e3, ecc=0, inc=0, raan=0, argp=0, nu=0)

>>> print(f"Transfer time: {maneuver.get_total_time()/3600:.1f} hours")
Notes
-----
The initial orbit should be approximately circular. For eccentric orbits,
use Lambert solver or other methods.

Create a bi-elliptic transfer maneuver.
A bi-elliptic transfer is a three-impulse maneuver that can be more

Initial circular orbit
r_b : float
Intermediate apoapsis radius (meters)

Bi-elliptic transfers trade longer transfer time for reduced delta-v.

Create a Lambert transfer maneuver between two orbits.
Lambert's problem solves for the velocity vectors needed to transfer
between two position vectors in a given time of flight.
Parameters
----------
orbit_i : Orbit
Initial orbit (position and epoch define departure point)
orbit_f : Orbit
Final orbit (position and epoch define arrival point)
short_way : bool, optional
If True, use short-way transfer (Δν < 180°), else long-way.
Default: True
num_revs : int, optional
Number of complete revolutions (0 for direct transfer).
Default: 0
Returns
-------
Maneuver
Two-impulse maneuver for Lambert transfer
Examples
--------
>>> # Rendezvous maneuver
>>> orbit1 = Orbit.from_vectors(Earth, r1, v1, epoch1)

Notes
-----
The time of flight is determined by the difference between the two
orbit epochs. For interplanetary transfers or rendezvous planning.
