Path: Interplanetary/InterplanetaryOrbit
% Find the Julian Date for a straight line trajectory to the target Starts at jD0. You specify the [departure target] planets using JPL ids, where 1 = Mercury and 9 = Pluto. jD0 may be a Julian day number or date array: [year month day hour minute second] Type JDStartTransfer for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: jDS = JDStartTransfer( jD0, planetPair, transferTime, duration, n ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ jD0 (1,1) Julian date to start computation or date array planetPair (1,2) Planets [departure target] transferTime (1,1) Duration of the transfer (years) duration (1,1) Duration of the study (years) n (1,1) Number of steps ------- Outputs ------- jDD (1,1) Departure date --------------------------------------------------------------------------
