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.
