Path: Interplanetary/LowEnergyManeuver
% Simulate a low thrust departure from a planet Treat the problem as planar. Creates a plot of the simulated spiral and a time history plot of the delta-V, fuel consumed, and orbit eccentricity. You can add radiation belts to any planet, though not all have radiation belts. The spiral into orbit is the same. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [mX, xP, t] = TwoDEscape( mu, rI, uE, thrust, m0, mF, rB, planet ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inputs ------ mu (1,1) Gravitational parameter rI (1,1) Initial radius (km) uE (1,1) Exhaust velocity (m/s) thrust (1,1) Thrust (N) m0 (1,1) Dry mass (kg) mF (1,1) Fuel mass (kg) rB (1,2) Radiation belt start/stop planet (1,:) Planet name Outputs ------- mX (1,1) Fuel consumed (kg) xP (6,n) State vector [r;v] t (1,n) Time vector corresponding to xP (s) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
