To calculate a transfer from Earth to Mars in Matlab, one can use the interplanetary equations of motion and numerical integration techniques such as the Runge-Kutta algorithm.
Here's an example of a transfer calculation:
main.m910 chars17 lines
This code defines initial conditions such as the gravitational parameters, semimajor axes, eccentricities, inclination, and node angles of Earth and Mars. Using these parameters and the Hohmann transfer equation, the code calculates the delta-v required to transfer from Earth's orbit to Mars' orbit.
