Summary of patched conic approximations the patched conic approximation for interplanetary transfers assumes that the sphere of influence of a planet has an infinite radius when observed from the planet, and has zero radius when observed from the sun. Trajectories within the sphere of influence are two body problems with the planet as the primary attracting body, and trajectories outside the sphere.
