Path: Interplanetary/InterplanetaryOrbit
% Transformation matrix from the heliocentric to B-plane frame. The B-plane frame is a plane moving with the planet and perpendicular to the incoming velocity of the asteroid. Type HelioToBPlane for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [m, bN] = HelioToBPlane( r0, v0, rA, vA ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ r0 (3,1) Position vector planet v0 (3,1) Velocity vector planet rA (3,1) Position vector asteroid vA (3,1) Velocity vector asteroid ------- Outputs ------- m (3,3) Transformation matrix n (3,1) Trajectory orbit normal bN (3,1) B-plane normal --------------------------------------------------------------------------
