3. Total Computation Time
Mission requirements: 99.86% Chance of reaching 300 km periapsis
Proof of system Capability requires 9986/10000 simulations to reach desired periapsis.
We also have 3 Launch Vehicles (30000 total runs of simulator)
Approximately 40 seconds total per simulation.
Total Computation Time
Solutions:
Use multiple computers
Try to lower time per simulation while maintaining accuracy
