A strategy for trajectory design, motion camouflage, is introduced within the context of orbital relative motion. At first the equations of orbital motion for this approach are developed. The control strategy is then implemented using both an impulsive and continuous approach. A number of parameters are then optimized to minimize the fuel mass. The simulation results reveal that the predator successfully reaches the target and thus proving the validity of this approach.
