Abstract
Previously, a complex exponential solution was derived which unified the elliptic and hyperbolic trajectories into a single set of equations1 and provided an exact analytical solution to the unperturbed two-body problem. The formulation eliminates singularities associated with the elliptical and hyperbolic trajectories that arise from these orbit trajectories. Using this complex exponential solution formulation, the state transition matrix has been analytically derived and is presented. We present the analytical state transition matrix formulation and highlight the benefits of this approach compared with the classical developments.
