Linear Models for Spacecraft Relative Motion Perturbed by Solar Radiation Pressure

What is it about?

The paper presents newly developed linear dynamics models for spacecraft relative motion in orbits perturbed by solar radiation pressure (SRP). The paper provides an extensive and rigorous treatment which includes the formalization of new J2+SRP state transition matrices for two relative orbital elements state representations. The models developed are valid both around Earth and around other celestial bodies such as near-Earth asteroids.
