Figure 4
The image contains four line graphs, each depicting the relationship between launch time and RV interceptor time for different ranges and trajectories. Panel A, titled Slow interceptor and depressed trajectory, shows a line graph with the x-axis labeled Launch time and the y-axis labeled RV interceptor time (sec). The graph includes four lines representing ranges of 50 km, 100 km, 150 km, and 200 km, with the RV interceptor time increasing as launch time increases. Panel B, titled Slow interceptor and lofted trajectory, also shows a line graph with the same axes and range representations. Here, the RV interceptor time initially decreases and then increases as launch time increases. Panel C, titled Fast interceptor and depressed trajectory, presents a line graph similar to Panel A, with the RV interceptor time increasing as launch time increases for all ranges. Four combinations of intercept
