Addition of MGA legs and nodes figure + explanation #91

Closed sbcowan closed 1 year ago

sbcowan commented 1 year ago

A few paragraphs are added at the beginning of the MGA guide together with a supporting figure. Legs and nodes are stressed, and an explanation is given of the difference between the heliocentric and planetocentric frame in the context of calculating the incoming and outgoing velocity vectors.

Some math was added (but commented out) because I believe that this makes the guide less clear. The explanation does refers to Musegaas where the math is explained thoroughly, but because the math differs depending on the type of leg, it would become too verbose and confusing for the new reader in my opinion.
