This is a launch and rendezvous autopilot for Greg Burch's Medium Utility Lander (LSTS2204) and Heavy Utility Lander (LSTS2312). The Scenario is a launch into a lunar orbit and Rendezvous with the Gilgamesh transporter (LSTS2012). It is based on the Apollo 11 Lunar Ascent Profile.
The features of the script are:
Â
-Calculation of the launch time
-Powered Ascent with crossrange capability
-Coelliptic Sequence Initiation (CSI): Raising the Perilune to 45 NM
-Planar Correction (if necessary)
-Constant Delta Height (CDH): Adjustment of the orbit to be coelliptic with the target
-Terminal Phase Initiation (TPI): Burn along the Line-of-Sight to initiate a rendezvous course
-performing two Mid Course Corrections (MCC1 and MCC2)
-The Lander should be now on a collision course to the transporter
