Ballistic propagation of a chaser relatively to a target - DEPRECATED
[t,rel_pos_vel] = CL_cw_ballisticPropa(t_ini, rel_pos_vel_ini, alt,... t_end, delta_t [,ballistic_coef_chaser,ballistic_coef_target,er,mu])
Computes the position and velocity vector of a chaser relative to a target when no maneuvres are performed.
The output argument rel_pos_vel contains the positions and velocities of the chaser relative to the target in the target's LVLH reference frame at the times t.
If no ballistic coefficients are given, acceleration due to drag is not taken into account.
Initial time [seconds] (1x1)
Initial position and velocity vector of chaser in target's LVLH frame [X;Y;Z;Vx;Vy;Vz] [m,m/s] (6x1)
Altitude of target [m]
Final time [seconds] (1x1)
(optional) Time step [s] (default is 100)
(optional) Ballistic coefficient of chaser : S*cx/m S=equivalent drag surface, cx = drag coefficient, m = mass [m^2/kg] (default is 0)
(optional) Ballistic coefficient of target : S*cx/m S=equivalent drag surface, cx = drag coefficient, m = mass [m^2/kg] (default is 0)
(optional) Equatorial radius [m] (default is %CL_eqRad)
(optional) Gravitational constant [m^3/s^2] (default value is %CL_mu)
Computation times [seconds] (1xN)
Position and velocity vectors of chaser in target's LVLH frame at corresponding times [X;Y;Z;Vx;Vy;Vz] [m,m/s] (6xN)
