Astrodynamics

an approximation that splits an interplanetary trajectory into two-body conic segments, each under one body's gravity, joined at sphere of influence boundaries.

In astrodynamics, patched conic approximation refers to an approximation that splits an interplanetary trajectory into two-body conic segments, each under one body's gravity, joined at sphere of influence boundaries. This meaning comes from Battin (1999) in An Introduction to the Mathematics and Methods of Astrodynamics, Revised Edition.[1]
