Transfer Orbits in Polar Coordinates

Use polar coordinates to compute an orbit to transfer a satellite from the unit circle to another orbit in a specified time. Plot these orbits on GeoGebra, using animation to see the transfer occur, and draw a quick sketch for planning on a graphics calculator.
