LowThrust [Last saved 4/21/2006. Scenario originally created by John Carrico, ADS]

This scenario demonstrates the use of Constraints in Astrogator. This scenario is from day 2 of the Astrogator Training class. The scenario shows a satellite launched to a supersynchronous orbit, and then lowered using extensive thrust arcs.

The final segment in the MCS, “Raise Perigee”, uses a constraint that executes a stop if the satellite is at Apogee, AND the Radius of Perigee is greater than 42159 km.
