Functions

dv_execution_error

Returns the provided Delta V vector with a magnitude and pointing error

dv_pointing_error

Apply a Normal pointing error to the provided delta-v vector (must be in km/s). Requires a 3-sigma error percentage (e.g. 0.05 is a 5% pointing error) and a pseudo random number generator Returns the delta-v vector with the applying pointing error

unit_vector_from_seed
