RendezvousPlanner:

Path: Orbit/OrbitControl

% Compute delta-Vs for rendezvous. 
 The inputs are the initial target position and velocity vector, the initial chase
 vehicle position and velocity vector, the time allowed for the rendezvous,
 the gravitational parameter and the tolerance for the Lambert problem 
 solver. It computes both direct and retrograde trajectories.
