Orbit generator (Mars) |
The spacecraft trajectory is defined in terms of a mission, i.e. in addition to defining the spacecraft orbital elements, the time period the spacecraft is in orbit has to be specified as well. In the case of Mars, by default, only one segment can be considered.
Once the mission has been defined, orbital parameters have to be specified. Once this is done, a page with a summary table of the mission segment is presented and the trajectory generation can be started.
