In the graph for tangential velocity (Vtan), there will be a horizontal gray line depicting the orbital velocity for a circular at a given altitude. If the tangential velocity of the ship crosses this line, and at the same time, the radial velocity crosses zero, the ship is in a circular orbit, or close to it. | In the graph for tangential velocity (Vtan), there will be a horizontal gray line depicting the orbital velocity for a circular at a given altitude.
