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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [rMin, dMin, jDMin] = OrbitClosestPoint( rEFTarget, el, jDEpoch, n, nOrbits ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ 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) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
