Path: Missions/AsteroidProspector
% Asteroid Prospector Mars mission planning. The mission starts in a GPS orbit. The spacecraft has a Xenon ion engine. The script computes the velocity changes needed for the different mission phases. The transfer to Mars is burn-coast-burn because the time needed to do the delta-v is much smaller than the transfer time so the Hohmann transfer is a reasonable approximation.
