+    """
+    Calculates the work required to move an object from one orbit to another in a
+    gravitational field based on the change in total mechanical energy.
+
+    The formula used is:
+        W = (G * M * m / 2) * (1/r_initial - 1/r_final)
+
+    where:
+        W = work done (Joules)
+        G = gravitational constant (6.67430 * 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2)
+        M = mass of the central body (kg)
+        m = mass of the orbiting object (kg)
+        r_initial = initial orbit radius (m)
+        r_final = final orbit radius (m)
+
+    Args:
+        mass_central (float): Mass of the central body (kg)
+        mass_object (float): Mass of the object being moved (kg)
+        r_initial (float): Initial orbital radius (m)
+        r_final (float): Final orbital radius (m)
+
+    Returns:
+        str: Work done in Joules as a string in scientific notation (3 decimals)
