Overview
Fast Lambert’s Solver for heliocentric missions
Bullseye combines
ephemeris data with a Lambert’s problem solver to determine the
interplanetary trajectory between two bodies for a given time of flight.
Ephemeris data for eight planets and Pluto are included for your
convenience.
Built-in search routine to locate optimal opportunities
Quickly
explore a large set of potential interplanetary trajectories. Simply set
the appropriate ranges for departure date, time of flight(s), and
surface stay time if applicable.
Simulates either one-way or round-trip missions
Two simulation
modes are available. The first simulates a single interplanetary
trajectory (useful for cargo missions). The second couples an outbound
trajectory, surface stay, and return inbound trajectory (useful for
crewed or sample return missions).
Easily eliminates candidate solutions that do not meet requirements
Place ranges on departure and arrival dates, trajectory time of flights,
and surface stay times. Additionally, maximum allowable C3 values and
delta-V’s for any transfer segment can be specified.
Custom body ephemeris data
Add your own custom destinations, such
as asteroids, by including appropriate heliocentric position and
velocity data.
