Total energy of the orbiting satellite of mass m having orbital radius r is

E = -GMm2r where M is the mass of the planet.

Additional kinetic energy required to transfer the satellite from a circular orbit of radius R1 to another radius R2 is

   = E2-E1

  = -GMm2RE-(-GMm2R1) = -GMm2R2+GMm2R1

 = GMm2(1R1-1R2)
