Analytical solutions of the relative orbital motion in unperturbed and in J2 - perturbed elliptic orbits

This paper introduces a different approach to obtain the exact solution of the relative equations of motion of a deputy (follower) satellite with respect to a chief (leader) satellite that both rotate about central body (Earth) in elliptic orbits by using Laplace transformation. Moreover, the paper...
