- TL;DR Summary
- Using MATLAB, I am trying to calculate the time taken for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to a near earth asteroid and then returning back to Earth but so far I have had no luck. Furthermore, I want to plot a Hohmann transfer and calculate the mass of fuel required for this mission. If possible, I would really appreciate some pointers (initial conditions, similar problems etc.)! P.S. For this problem would it be better to use ode23 or ode45?
