pub fn ep02_jupiter_escape_analysis() -> Vec<(&'static str, JupiterTransitResult)>Expand description
EP02 scenario: Kestrel’s Jupiter escape from Ganymede orbit.
Parameters from the episode:
- Starts at ~15 RJ (Ganymede orbit)
- Reaches 50 RJ with Jupiter-frame velocity 10.3 km/s
- Shield remaining life: 42 minutes at departure
Key finding: “42 minutes remaining at current rate” translates to a dose budget of D_rate × 42/60 hours. Whether the shield survives depends on how fast the ship moves through the belt. At 7 km/s radial (passive escape), the transit takes ~99 hours and the shield fails. At higher velocities (active brachistochrone escape), the shield can survive.
Returns results for multiple velocity/geometry scenarios.
