Path: Orbit/OrbitControl
% Converts the transfer time to delta-V for a rendezvous. Uses the MATLAB function fmins to optimize the start and transfer times for the maneuver. Draws a figure for no outputs. See also LambertOpt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forms: maneuver = TransferTimeToDV( elT, elC, transferTime, mu, tol, planet ) maneuver = TransferTimeToDV TransferTimeToDV -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ elT (6,1) Target orbit elements for current position elC (6,1) Chase orbit elements for current position transferTime (1,2) Transfer times [nominal max] mu (1,1) Gravitational parameter* tol (1,1) Tolerance* planet (:) Orbit center* * Optional ------- Outputs ------- maneuver (1,1) Maneuver data structure .dV1 (1,1) Transfer orbit insertion delta-V .dV2 (1,1) Target orbit insertion delta-V .tStart (1,1) Start time relative to epoch .tTransfer (1,1) Time in transfer orbit .u (3,2) Unit vectors of thrust --------------------------------------------------------------------------
