AttitudeTarget:

Path: SCPro/ProAttitude

% Generate a reference quaternion for a variety of targets. 
 There are six types of target

   'latlon'   - point a spacecraft vector at a specific latitude
                and longitude of the earth. The angle about
                the vector is ignored
   'sun'      - point a spacecraft vector at the sun. The angle about
                the vector is ignored
   'lvlh'     - align the spacecraft with LVLH 
   'eci'      - align with respect to ECI
   'ulvlh'    - align with a unit vector defined in the lvlh frame
   'ueci'     - align with a unit vector defined in the eci frame
   'target'   - align with a target spacecraft

   The output is the target qECIToBody.
