Path: Orbit/OrbitManeuver
% Computes the delta-V for reentry from a near-circular orbit.
You must select the entry interface radius, rEI and c! and c2 which are
the LTVCON (Linear Terminal Velocity Constraint) constants such that
vR = c1 + c2*vH
where vR is the radial velocity and vH is the horizontal velocity.
