where l is the mean argument of latitude and [- or +] [[theta].sub.max] represents the entrance and exit of the access.
However, the separation between two satellites in the same plane is considered too small with only 13[degrees] difference in argument of latitude. Therefore, an additional case is attempted using five optimized variables in total, which are a, i, [OMEGA], [omega], and v in Case 12.
