Path: Orbit/OrbitManeuver
% Compute maneuver profile for a triangular maneuver. r is the perpendicular bisector. The triangle is assumed to be equilateral. This maneuvers in a triangle around a point. This is useful for maneuvering around a target. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [dV, fuel] = TriangularManeuver( p, r, m, t, uE ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ p (1,1) Period (min) r (1,1) Perpendicular bisector of maneuver (m) m (1,1) Mass (kg) t (1,1) Duration (min) uE (1,1) Exhaust velocity (m/sec) ------- Outputs ------- dV (1,1) Total delta-V (m/s) fuel (1,1) Fuel consumption (kg) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
