The inward radial kick also leaves angular momentum unchanged and increases orbital energy by . Its eccentricity and semi-major axis equal those in case , but the orientation of its eccentricity vector is reflected about the initial radius. The satellite initially moves inward on its ellipse, toward pericentre. Neither radial kick decreases the orbital energy.
