A Simple Time Domain Collocation Method to Precisely Search for the Periodic Orbits of Satellite Relative Motion

A numerical approach for obtaining periodic orbits of satellite relative motion is proposed, based on using the time domain collocation (TDC) method to search for the periodic solutions of an exact J2 nonlinear relative model. The initial conditions for periodic relative orbits of the Clohessy-Wilts...
