Path: FormationFlying/Transformation
% Computes the desired orbital element differences, given the formation flying "goals" and the measured orbital elements. Since version 7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: dEl = Goals2DeltaElem( el0, goals, J2 ); -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ el0 (1,6) Measured orbital elements (Alfriend format) [a,theta,i,q1,q2,W] goals (.) Geometric goals data structure with following fields: - y0 (1,:) along-track offset [km] - aE (1,:) semi-major axis of relative ellipse [km] - beta0 (1,:) angle on ellipse at perigee [rad] - zInc (1,:) cross-track amplitude due to inclination diff [km] - zLan (1,:) cross-track amplitude due to right ascen diff [km] J2 (1) Size of the J2 perturbation (default 0) ------- Outputs ------- dEl (:,6) desired orbital element differences --------------------------------------------------------------------------
