Radiation pressure disturbance demo.

Compute the radiation pressure force and torque for a complete orbit in LEO, assuming an offset from LVLH pointing. The disturbances are calculated both with and without the planetary components (albedo and radiation).

Things to try:

1. Change the optical coefficients
2. Different center of mass
3. Higher or lower orbital altitude.
