% Computes the delta-V for a change in semi-major axis. Will perform a demo for a low earth orbit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: deltaV = OrbMnvrSemimajor( v, a, deltaA, mu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ v (1,1) Velocity a (1,1) Semimajor axis deltaA (1,1) Change in semimajor axis mu (1,1) Gravitational parameter ------- Outputs ------- deltaV (1,1) Delta-V data structure. .total (1,1) Total required delta-V -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Vallado, D.
