This will be a repository for my code while I work on my thesis. The general idea is to generate a method for automatically producing optimal low-thrust trajectories (including optimizations of the planetary flybys) for a sample mission to Neptune.

For now, it will just be a location for storing my notes as I come up with a plan. I will update this readme as I flush out the plan a little better and then as I begin producing code.

Dependencies

Generate PDFs

To generate the PDFs (currently just the notes, but soon to include the thesis paper) you'll need:

pandoc
a working LaTeX installation
Roboto font
make

Julia Code

In order to run the Julia code, you'll need Julia v1.6 or higher. This project is packaged as a package, so installing the dependencies (and the project itself) is simple. Just run:

using Pkg
Pkg.activate("julia")
Pkg.build()

Installation

Generate PDFs

To produce the pdfs, simply run:

make
