transfer_trajectory#
Functionalities for multiple-leg interplanetary transfer trajectories.
This module provides the functionality for creating transfer trajectories consisting of multiple transfer legs separated by transfer nodes. In particular, this allows defining multi-gravity assist transfers with high-thrust legs, low-thrust legs or a mix of the two.
