The propagation matrix premultiplying the initial condition vector is also re-
ferred to as the state transition matrix for the CW equations. This matrix is
labeled as ©(t), and is a time varying. The system can be partitined as
µ ¶ µ ¶µ ¶
±r(t) M(t) N(t) ±r0
=
±v(t) S(t) T(t) ±v0
In the text (Wiesel, Space‡ight Dynamics), the variables are related to the ones
shown as
à = nt
±r = x
r0 ±µ = y
±z = z
©rr = M
©rv = N
©vr = S
©vv = T
