Hi, I have read some of the previous solutions on this problem but they so far haven't worked for me. I cannot get the legend to replicate the colours of the graph itself. A solution I saw on another thread said I should make sure the whole matrix is being plotted, by incorporating (1,:) afterwards. This didn't work for me as it meant some lines wouldn't plot at all.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

M = [30,10000,6,230]; %Array containing system masses (kg)
D = [5, 25, 0.5, 2]; %Array containing mission durations (years)
powerP = [200, 4000, 250, 400]; %Array containg peak power values (W)
M_ps = 0.15.*M; %Power system mass available (kg)
powerSpec = powerP./M_ps; %Specific power of each mission (W/kg)
t=linspace(0,25,1000);
powerSpec_SC1 = zeros(length(t));
powerSpec_SC1 = zeros(length(t));
powerSpec_RTG1 = zeros(length(t));
powerSpec_RTG2 = zeros(length(t));
for n=1:length(t);
T=t(n);
powerSpec_SC1(n)=37*(1-0.15).^T;
powerSpec_SC2(n)=49*(1-0.1).^T;
powerSpec_RTG1(n)=98000*exp((-log(2)*T)/0.411);
powerSpec_RTG2(n)=240*exp((-log(2)*T)/28.3);

See if this slight modification does what you want:
legend([h1(1), h2(1), h3(1), h4(1), h5(1), h6(1), h7(1), h8(1)],'Solar Array 1','Solar Array 2','RTG1','RTG2','Mission 1','Mission 2','Mission 3','Mission 4')
.
