NominalSafeGuidance:

Path: FormationFlying/SafeGuidance

% The Nominal Safe Guidance method.

 Define a safe relative orbit and plan a 1-2 burn maneuver to reach it.
 The safe relative orbit is a 2x1 relative in-plane ellipse, with a
 cross-track oscillation that provides a minimum cross-track separation
 where the ellipse intersects the along-track axis. The relative ellipse
 is chosen such that:
 * it can be reached with a single, immediate delta-v
 * it does not intersect with a 2x1 elliptical avoidance region 
 * its semi-major axis is greater than the defined minimum value
 * it requires the lowest delta-v to meet the above constraints
