DeltaGlider is approaching the Mars at hyperbolic
transfer orbit and we want to reach the Deimos. At first we must plan the
course correction and syncronation with the Deimos. One good starting point
is that we set the node to periapis. Making the plane change at current node
position may not be a good idea. However it is possible and it is not a wrong
way to do that. I assume that there are no right or wrong way to do that there
is only a good way and not so good ways.

Let's start the P2 program
first setting the target "Deimos" and selecting "apsides" mode. Close the
program. Then we setup P3 transfer program. Select "Distance" operating mode
and setup 23500k as an distance. Screen shot is below.

Close the P3 program. Then
we must setup program flags. Turn the page by pressing (PG) button. Press
(Drw) and (Int) buttons to enable orbit drawing and select witch program
we use to calculate intersections.
Press (Int) button on Map Display to setup interception mode to
Apoapis "Ap"
Select P2 program by pressing (Nxt) button and press (Edt) button to edit
it.
Decrease PeD and adjust LPe so that you will intercept the Deimos at apoapis
as shown in a picture below.
It's time to start flight plan. Execute P2 burn. Delete P2 program
after the burn is completed.
Make P3 burn as planned and delete the program.
You may need to make a little final correction depending how close to
deimos you want. This correction can be made with P2 set Apoapis and Apsides
modes. Don't forget to setup the target "Deimos". Adjust ApD and LAp.
Correction burn image is not shown
When you are close to Deimos match the velocity with the Deimos. Plane
change will be made during the Match burn. That will also circulate the orbit.
Velocity Match will be found from Orbital programs.
