Scored by bit-identical replay
Every submission is re-run on the server with the same deterministic engine — your score is reproducible to the last digit. No trust required; the replay is the referee.
LEO → GEO, least Δv
replay-verifiedRaise a 400 km circular orbit to geostationary. Lowest total Δv wins.
Objective: minimize total transfer Δv (m/s)
Score = `hohmann_transfer` total Δv — the same call the server replays. Lower parking orbits win (less to raise), which is why the leaderboard rewards flying low. Persisted rankings + submission-from-a-saved-mission are the server-replay-worker follow-on.
