Impulse Application Rule

Definition

Two maneuver principles derived from the Jacobi constant-velocity increment relationship: first, deceleration maneuvers should be applied at velocity maxima with the impulse collinear and opposite to the velocity direction, minimizing the energy cost of deceleration; second, direction-adjustment maneuvers should be applied at velocity minima, reducing the energy penalty of changing the velocity direction.
