Path: Orbit/OrbitMechanics
% Calculates orbital elements and perigee radius for a planetary flyby.
Since version 2.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[el, rP] = Flyby( vA, vD, vP, muP )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
vA (3,1) Approach velocity of the spacecraft
vD (3,1) Departure velocity of the spacecraft
vP (3,1) Velocity of the planet
muP (1,1) Gravitational parameter of the encountered planet
-------
Outputs
-------
el (:) Elements in the planet frame
el.a, el.i, el.w, el.W, el.e, el.M
rP (1,1) Radius of perigee
