JDStartTransfer:

Path: Orbit/Interplanetary

% Find the Julian Date for a straight line trajectory to the target
 Starts at jD0. You specify the [departure target] planets using JPL
 ids, where 1 = Mercury and 9 = Pluto. jD0 may be a Julian day number or date
 array:

   [year month day hour minute second]

 Type JDStartTransfer for a demo.
