Rocket_to_the_Moon

Calculate the positions of a rocket travelling between the Earth and Moon using the Runge-Kutta method for solving differential equations of motion. Trajectories are defined in list format. The first list item is a string defining the starting location of the rocket. Current options are:

  • 'L1' - Langrangian Point 1

  • 'L2' - Langrangian Point 2

  • 'Earth_Orbit' - Orbit above the Earth

The second list item is a list defining time array index values at which to apply a boost.

The third list item is a list defining boost magnitudes.

Example trajectories include:

'Approximate Free Return'

Free_Return

'Lagrangian Point 1'

Approximate L1

'Lagrangian Point 2'

Approximate L2
