AsteroidOrbitDemo:
% Example orbit propagation problem from an AIAA student challenge.
The asteroid in question should hit the Earth.
Demonstrates an n-body gravity model. There is an option to
include the perturbations or to integrate with only the sun. The
perturbations bring the final position from an 1174 Earth radii miss distance
to only 5 radii. The integration runs for a fixed amount of time using
ode113, so it is possible that there is an even closer pass within a day
of the endpoint.
Since version 7.
