This paper analyzes the relative motion between two spacecraft in orbit. Specifically, the paper provides bounds for relative spacecraft velocity- based measures which impact spacecraft formation-flight mission design and analysis. The relative speed metric, and velocity components for formation-flight are presented for general Keplerian elliptic orbits along with the range rate metric for certain special cases. A methodology for bounding the metrics is presented. The extremal equations are formulated as an affine variety and solved using a Gröbner basis reduction. The metrics have utility to the mission designer of formation flight architectures, with relevance to Earth observation constellations and inter-satellite communications systems.
