% Animation the relative motion in Hills frame.
Given the reference orbital elements, a time span, and the spacecrafts'
orbital elements, animate the relative motion. If a Hills state is available
it may be input directly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
ViewHills( el0, el, timeSpan, method )
ViewHills( w0, xH, timeSpan, 1 ) % relative via Hills
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
el0 (1,6) reference orbital elements [a i W w e M]
el (k,6) orbital elements of each spacecraft
timeSpan (1) length of time to propagate
method (:) method of propagation ('relative','keplerian','hi-fi')
( 1 2 3 )
- for method 1, first 3 inputs are: -
w0 (1,1) orbital rate [rad/s]
xH (6,k) initial Hills state [km; km/s]
timeSpan (1)
-------
Outputs
-------
sc data structure of relative positions over time
