% Autonomously update geometric goals Define new geometric goals for a single satellite, such that any semi-major axis difference is eliminated, and the new trajectory maintains a minimum separation distance from all other team members trajectories in the team. Command ONLY along-track offset, set radial oscillation to 0, and leave out-of-plane motion unchanged. For each OTHER member, compute the extreme y-values, and determine the closest y0 whose extrema are at least minSepDist from all OTHER extrema -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage: newGoals = AutoFormGeometry( state, memberGoals, minSepDist, maxSepDist, nS, maxIter ); -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ state (.) Orbital state data structure memberGoals (.) Geometric goals for all other members in the cluster minSepDist (1) Minimum allowable separation distance between satellites minSepDist (1) Maximum allowable separation distance between satellites nS (1) Number of samples to use in computing 1-period trajectories ------- Outputs ------- newGoals (.) Goals data structure defining desired relative motion for team --------------------------------------------------------------------------
