Path: Interplanetary/OrbitOptimization
% Set up and run the trajectory optimization for an asteroid intercept. I1/'Oumuamua is a recent interstellar asteroid that passed through the solar system. This shows that a fusion powered spacecraft could have intercepted the asteroid. This demo requires the optimization toolbox. Simulation is in the gravity field of the sun. THe demo also sizes a spacecraft to perform the mission given the engine parameters and payload.
