OrbitClosestPoint:

Path: Orbit/OrbitCoord

% Computes closest orbit point to points on the earth. 

 You can input any number of orbits to check. The function propagates
 the orbit with a Kepler propagator. The Earth rotation is found using
 TruEarth.

 Type OrbitClosestPoint for a demo.

   Inputs
   ------
   rEFTarget   (3,m)   Target vectors to check
   el          (1,6)   Keplerian elements [a i Lon Arg e M]
   jDEpoch     (1,1)   Julian date epoch of elements
   n           (1,1)   Number of points to check
   nOrbits     (1,1)   Number of orbits to check

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   rMin        (3,m)   Nearest orbital point
   dMin        (1,m)   Distance to each point
   jDMin       (1,m)   Julian date for each point (days)
