Is this flight software?

No. SIDUS models are educational reimplementations. Cross-check before any flight decision.

Rendezvous catch-up

Natural coplanar catch-up time from altitude offset and phase angle.

Natural catch-up phasing

Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications (David A. Vallado): Standard reference for two-body, Lambert, maneuvers, and J2. Equations implemented independently in SIDUS.
Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students (Howard D. Curtis): Textbook derivations for Hohmann, vis-viva, rocket equation, elements.
Spaceflight Dynamics (William E. Wiesel): Relative motion, rendezvous, and phasing context complementary to Vallado/Curtis.
