SafeGuidance:

Path: FormationFlying/SafeGuidance

% The Safe Guidance Mode.

 The desired relative trajectory and the delta-v sequence to achieve it
 will be computed each cycle. The results will be made available as
 telemetry at all times.

 The delta-v command will be executed only when
 safe mode has been entered and the appropriate conditions have been met.

 Conditions for commanding ANY delta-v (nominal OR immediate separation)
 1 SAFE MODE has been entered
 2 either:
 a) the thruster is ready to fire (heated to nominal conditions) OR
 b) there is a high probability of collision within the next 20-30
 minutes (this based on the time required to heat the thrusters)
 3 we are NOT waiting for a previous maneuver to complete

 Further conditions for executing an immediate separation maneuver:
 1 the MAIN is inside the PASSIVE avoidance region

 Further conditions for executing a nominal safe guidance maneuver:
 1 the MAIN is outside the PASSIVE avoidance region
  2 we have exceeded the deadband

   Since version 10.
