The software toool applies only for transfers departing from a Earht's circular orbit to a Moon's circular Orbit. + + +## Installation Guide +Installation requires simply that you download [MOLTO-3BP](https://github.com/uc3m-aerospace/MOLTO-3BP) and add all the folders and subfolders to your Matlab path. + +### Dependencies +A recent version of Matlab is needed to run the code (R2016a or newer). + +## Quick Usage Guide + +In order to optimize a mission, the user needs to call the main function *molto_3bp.m* providing an input structure. The user only need to define the departure and target orbit radiuses. Here you have an example: + +```matlab +% MISSION FROM Geostationary Earth Orbit to a circular Low Moon Orbit. +%% Initial Data +R_e = 6378; % [km] Mean Earth's radius +R_m = 1738; % [km] Mean Moon's radius +h_i = 35786; % [km] Altitude of departure orbit +h_f = 4000-R_m; % [km] Altitude of arrival orb +% +r0 = h_i+R_e; % [km] Distance to Earth's Center +rf = h_f+R_m; % [km] Distance to Moon's Center +% +% Save to input structure +% +input.r0 = r0; +input.rf = rf; +% +% Genetic algorithm parameters +% +input.pop = 1000; % NSGA-II population number +input.gen = 200; % NSGA-II generation number +input.init_file = []; % Load initial populations file (if available) +input.output_file = 'Example1.txt'; % Output file name +input.useParallel = 'yes'; % (yes/no) Compute fitness function in paralle + +% RUN MOLTO-IT ALGORITHM +output = molto_3bp(input)
