% Resolves the transfer angle ambiguity. Since version 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: phi = TARes( r0, r, orbitType ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ r0 (3,1) Initial position vector r (3,1) Final position vector orbitType (1,:) 'direct' or 'retrograde' ------- Outputs ------- phi (1,1) Transfer angle -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Bond, V.R. and Allman, M.
