🛰️ Hohmann Transfer with Plane Change: Splitting the Inclination Burn

A Blender-modelled satellite and Earth show a Hohmann transfer from a low inclined orbit to an equatorial orbit. Split the plane-change angle between the perigee and apogee burns, see burn vector triangles, total delta-v, transfer time and propellant share, and find the optimum split (about 2.2 degrees at perigee for a 28.5 degree launch) with state-vector RK4 checks.
