Form:
[el,rhill,vhill] = ProjCirc(aRef,iRef,kSats,rF,type)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
aRef (1) semi-major axis of reference orbit [km]
iRef (1) inclination of reference orbit [rad]
kSats (1) number of satellites
rF (1) formation radius [km]
type (1) formation type
1 = equally phased (default)
2 = equal inclinations
-------
Outputs
-------
el (kSats,6) orbital elements of all spacecraft
rhill (3,kSats) position vectors in Hill's frame [km]
vhill (3,kSats) velocity vectors in Hill's frame [km/s]
