Model the Relative Motion between Satellites in Orbit
The Clohessy-Wiltshire equations model the relative motion between two satellites orbiting a central body. This is a linear model for the Cartesian position of one satellite relative to another. Two simulations are done here with different initial conditions for each simulation.
