Path: Orbit/OrbitMechanics
% Computes all times for a Hohmann Transfer.
Since version 1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[Ts, Tt, Tw, T, phi1, phi2, P1, P2] = THohmn( R1, R2, mu )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
R1 Orbit radius 1
R2 Orbit radius 2
mu Gravitational parameter
-------
Outputs
-------
Ts Synodic Period
Tt Transfer time
Tw Wait Time
T Total trip time
phi1 phase angle between 1 and 2 at launch
+ implies 2 leads 1
phi2 phase angle between 1 and 2 at intercept
+ implies 1 lags 2
P1 Period of orbit 1
P2 Period of orbit 2
