SatelliteVisibility:

Path: Link/Coverage

% Determines the visibility between the points in r2 and r1. 
   It does not return the line of sight.
   If no outputs are requested it generates a 3D plot showing the planet 
   and the arc where the r2 is visible. This routine assumes that the planet 
   is a sphere.

   Form:
   visible = SatelliteVisibility( r1, r2, horizonAngle, planet )

   Inputs
   ------
   r1           (3,1)     Viewing satellite
   r2           (3,:)     Viewed satellite
   horizonAngle (1,1)     Angle above horizon for visibility
   planet       (1,:)     Any planet name in the database

   Outputs
   -------
   visible     (1,:)     1 if satellite is visible
