LocusOfVisibility:

Path: Orbit/OrbitCoord

% Determine the locus of visibility for a satellite above a planet.

   The planet is spherical.

   Type LocusOfVisibility for a demo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   rLocus      = LocusOfVisibility( rSat, radiusPlanet, n )
   [lat, lon]  = LocusOfVisibility( rSat, radiusPlanet, n )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   rSat          (3,1)   Location of the satellite in the planet frame
   radiusPlanet	(1,1)   Radius of planet
   n             (1,1)   Number of points in the locus

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   rLocus        (3,n)   Locust of points

   or

   lat           (1,n)   Latitude (rad)
   lon           (1,n)   Longitude (rad)
