Tangent
-------

**Script Type:** :class:`WsfTangentManeuver`

.. parsed-literal::

   :ref:`maneuver<orbital_event.maneuver>` tangent
      :ref:`Common Maneuver Commands ...<orbital_event.common_commands>`
      delta_v_ ...
   end_maneuver

Perform a maneuver that adds delta_v_ in the same or opposite directions (tangent) with the current velocity vector.

   .. note:: If the added delta-V causes the orbit to become hyperbolic, the maneuver will only execute if the space mover supports hyperbolic propagation.

.. command:: delta_v <speed-value>

   The given delta-V to be applied.  Positive values will be applied in the same direction as the velocity vector, and negative values will be applied in the opposite direction.
