Path: Interplanetary/Pluto
% Pluto mission delta-Vs using DFD, Lambert solutions Use Lambert to calculate the delta-V to Pluto over a range of transit times, from 2 to 10 years. Estimate the total mission mass using specific power to scale the spacecraft, plus allowing for a given tank fraction, thrust efficiency, and a payload of 1000 kg. Creates PlutoSpacecraftData.mat which is used by the CAD model for sizing the fuel and power systems.
