Capture Trajectories

"Capture Trajectory" is a conic section orbit that represents a two-body orbital motion solution wherein a spacecraft approaches a celestial body along a hyperbolic trajectory and employs a maneuver or natural perturbation to transition into a bounded elliptical orbit, distinguishing it from other transfer or flyby trajectories by achieving orbital capture.
