TOF based targeting

Open ChristopherRabotin opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

Use TOF to compute best time to start the launch for a given thrust. Effectively, run with an initial guess from a launch date, then propagate until the target orbit is reached, get the TOF for this, and re-propagate this time targeting the destination orbit at the time of launch plus initial TOF. This may require a few iterations to get right (dichotomy?).
