InterstellarAsteroid:

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.
