A to Z Formula

What is the formula for Hyperbolic excess velocity?

A body traveling along hyperbolic trajectory will attain in infinity an orbital velocity called hyperbolic excess velocity (v).

The formula for Hyperbolic excess velocity is given as,

v = √〈µ / -a〉

v∞  = Hyperbolic excess velocity

µ  = is the standard gravitational parameter

a = the length of the semi-major axis (a > 0 for ellipses, a = ∞ or 1/a = 0 for parabolas,

                                                                   and a < 0 for hyperbolas)
