LPvsCF:

Path: FormationFlying/Analysis

% Compare the delta-v and trajectory for two methods of relative orbit control.

 - The "LP" method, which uses Simplex
 - The "Closed-Form" method, which involves 3 in-plane burns at
   half-orbit increments

   Form:
   [uLP,uCF,xLP,xCF] = LPvsCF( el0, g0, gF, nSPO, nOrbMvr, nOrbSim );
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   el0             (1,6)  Reference orbital elements
   g0               (.)   Initial state, expressed in geometric goal format
   gF               (.)   Final state, expressed in geometric goal format
   nSPO             (1)   Time step [sec]
   nOrbMvr          (1)   Number of orbits to allow for maneuver
   nOrbSim          (1)   Number of orbits to simulate (must be >= nOrbMvr) 

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
