% Analysis of approach orbits to Alpha Centauri binary system
Alpha Centauri A-B system is in XY plane
The spacecraft approaches from Earth at:
16.7 deg elevation angle to the plane
-122.2 deg azimuth angle (measured from perigee of B's orbit about A)
Begin approach with a hyperbolic orbit around A.
You may use this as an initial condition to numerically integrate RHS
to see effect of B disturbance. Use RHSAlphaCentauriMission.
Since version 10.
