LatLonToRangeAzimuth:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compute range and azimuth angle from a source site to a destination.
Range is measured along the sphere. Azimuth is from north, [-pi,pi].
The latitude and longitude are geocentric. Has a built-in demo.
Since version 2015.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[range,az,coaz] = LatLonToRangeAzimuth( lat0, lon0, latF, lonF, Rp )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
lat0 (1) Initial Latitude [rad]
lon0 (1) Initial Longitude [rad]
latF (1,:) Final Latitude [rad]
lonF (1,:) Final Longitude [rad]
Rp (1,1) Radius of the planet [km]
-------
Outputs
-------
range (1,:) Range along Earth's surface (km)
az (1,:) Azimuth angle from source site to satellite
coaz (1,:) Azimuth angle back to source from satellite
