ViewRelativeMotion:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
View the relative motion associated with a set of geometric goals and a
given reference orbit.
Alternatively, the second input may be provided as a set of N orbital
element vectors (Alfriend format) rather than geometric goals. (size Nx6)
Since version 7.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
sc = ViewRelativeMotion( el0, goals, nOrbits );
-or-
sc = ViewRelativeMotion( el0, el, nOrbits );
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
el0 (1,6) Reference orbital elements (Alfriend format) [a,th,i,q1,q2,W]
g (.) Geometric goals data structure with following fields:
- y0 along-track offset [km]
- aE semi-major axis of relative ellipse [km]
- beta angle on ellipse at perigee [rad]
- zInc cross-track amp. due to inc. diff [km]
- zLan cross-track amp. due to right ascen diff [km]
nOrbits (1) Number of orbits to simulate [orbits]
-------
Outputs
-------
sc (.) Data structure array of position, velocity, time data
for each spacecraft
- r (3,:) Relative Hills frame position [km]
- v (3,:) Relative Hills frame velocity [km/s]
- t (1,:) Time [sec]
