PDF document and two MATLAB scripts that can be used to design and analyze the behavior of frozen orbits. A frozen orbit is characterized by the absence of long-term changes in orbital eccentricity and argument of perigee. This type of orbit maintains almost constant altitude over any particular point on a planet’s surface.
