Path: StraightLine/AlphaCentauri
% Straight-line rendezvous to Alpha Centauri Evaluate different values for the exhaust velocity and specific power for a mission to Alpha Centauri. Uses a very optimistic (low) structural fraction. Delivers a fixed payload of 100 kg. Things to try: * Try specific powers up to 400 kW/kg * Try exhaust velocity up to 25,000 km/s, the limit for fusion products -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: ComputeDuration, EngineReport, SimulateStraightLineTrajectory, Straight2DStructure, Plot2D --------------------------------------------------------------------------
