Superperiodic Bielliptic Advantage Ratio Threshold 11.94 Checker
Rounded asymptotic bielliptic comparison threshold screen for ideal circular coplanar radii; finite apoapsis/transfer time can change advantage.
Description
Superperiodic Bielliptic Advantage Ratio Threshold 11.94 Checker: return rounded asymptotic threshold exceeded.
A bielliptic transfer comparison depends on the ratio of outer to inner orbital radius and on the transfer assumptions. A rounded asymptotic threshold is only a screening reference.
This tool returns rounded asymptotic threshold exceeded. Use the stated units and model convention when interpreting these fields.
When to use this tool
Use this tool when the supplied inputs match the specific operation described above and you need a repeatable result under its stated convention.
- Check the supported input and output contract against an existing calculation or observation.
- Use the complete example to confirm units, selector spelling and result interpretation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter every field in the input table using the stated units and the exact supported selector spelling where applicable.
- Run the tool. Correct input errors before interpreting an output.
- Read the result fields below; use accompanying flags and the stated sign, boundary or model convention when interpreting a number.
Require an outer-to-inner radius ratio of at least one. Return true only when it exceeds 11.94.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| outerToInnerRadiusRatio | Outer to inner radius ratio. | Finite number; greater than zero |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the following named result fields. |
| result.roundedAsymptoticThresholdExceeded | Rounded asymptotic threshold exceeded flag under the exact conditions described above. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The strict rounded comparison does not optimize a transfer, calculate delta-v or account for transfer duration.
- Every declared field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; input errors are distinct from a valid false result or an explicitly qualified output.
- Extremely large inputs and nonfinite or excessively large outputs are rejected. List positions reported by the tool use zero-based indices unless stated otherwise.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the underlying observations, units and conventions independently before using the result in a larger workflow. The tools listed below address nearby tasks; compare their inputs and scope before substituting one for this operation.
