A comparison of the linear <strong>and</strong> quadratic solutions is given in Figure 1.3,<br />

1.4, <strong>and</strong> 1.5, (from Reference 1.2) for a target orbit with apogee <strong>and</strong> perigee<br />

altitude of 400 miles <strong>and</strong> 200 miles. The figures were generated by assuming<br />

the relative position was zero at time zero, but that a non-zero relative<br />

velocity existed as indicated on each figure.<br />
