Four graphs showing RV intercept time versus launch time for different interceptor speeds and trajectories.The image contains four line graphs comparing RV intercept time in seconds on the y-axis to launch time on the x-axis. Each graph represents different combinations of interceptor speed and trajectory. The top left graph shows a slow interceptor with a depressed trajectory, the top right graph shows a slow interceptor with a lofted trajectory, the bottom left graph shows a fast interceptor with a depressed trajectory, and the bottom right graph shows a fast interceptor with a lofted trajectory. Each graph includes four lines representing different ranges: 50 kilometers in green, 100 kilometers in red, 150 kilometers in blue, and 200 kilometers in orange. The lines illustrate how intercept time varies with launch time for each range and trajectory combination. All values are approximated.
