Relative motion and autonomous rendezvous in Keplerian elliptic orbits

In this paper, the analytical closed-form solution of the Tschauner-Hempel equations that are used for rendezvous in elliptic orbits are studied and exploited. The solution is based on a state transition matrix that is completely explicit in time. Autonomous guidance algorithms to approach, to flyar...
