% Calculate delta-Vs for a pulsed circumnavigation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[dVM, t, x] = GlideslopeCircumnav( x0, w, N, T, rho, a )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
x0 (6,1) Relative state in LVLH frame (m, m/s)
w (1) Orbit rate (rad/sec)
N (1) Number of pulses, default is 4.
T (1) Period of circumnavigation (s), default is 1 orbit period
rho (1) Radius of circumnavigation (m), leave empty to calculate from x0
a (3,1) Orbit normal of circumnavigation ([0;1;0] produces in-plane)
-------
Outputs
-------
dVM (3,N) Delta-V in LVLH frame
t (1,N) Times to apply the delta-V
x (3,N) State at each delta-V point (before maneuver)
