Path: Orbit/Demos/OrbitManeuver

% Orbit separation demo
 Calculate a delta-V for an in-plane separation and size a thruster to perform
 the maneuver. This is a bang/bang maneuver.

 This demonstrates that a small satellite deployed in LEO can move 1 km away
 from the "mother ship" in less than one orbit with a range of thrusters. The
 Lambert delta-V approaches the ideal delta-V as the time approaches one orbit.
