MISSION-PLANNING--SATELLIES

Description: Given an initial orbit and a set of other orbits of interest, the path requiring the lowest change in
velocity between them is of high value. Software was developed to visualize the change in velocity
required from a user defined window of burn to a user defined window of intercept. The time between
burn and intercept is unrestricted. Multiple intercepts require searching an n! solution space. Research
then is focused on ways to pick optimal choices without fully calculating out the cost of doing all
possible combinations. Some code was translated from BASIC and the rest was newly developed in
MATLAB. The code was validated using orbits with known intercept solutions.
