Path: Interplanetary/AlphaCentauri
% Analysis of approach orbits to Alpha Centauri binary system Alpha Centauri A-B system is in XY plane The spacecraft approaches from Earth at: 16.7 deg elevation angle to the plane -122.2 deg azimuth angle (measured from perigee of B's orbit about A) Begin approach with a hyperbolic orbit around A. You may use this as an initial condition to numerically integrate RHS to see effect of B disturbance. Use RHSAlphaCentauriMission.
