Detailed Description

RSW Satellite Coordinate System.

Applies to studies of relative motion because the system moves with the satellite. The R axis is defined as pointing from the Earth's center along the radius vector toward the satellite, and the W axis is fixed along the direction normal to orbital plane. The S axis points in the direction of the velocity vector and is perpendicular to the radius vector. Radial: positions and displacements are parallel to the position vector (along R axis) Along-track: displacements are normal to the position vector and (for small e) are nearly parallel to the satellite's instantaneous velocity vector (along the S axis) Cross-track: positions are normal to the plane defined by thte current position and velocity vectors (along the W axis). Sometimes called the Gaussian coordinate system. (Vallado, pg. 42-43)
