Abstract The motion of an unpowered probe, ejected into an elliptic orbit in the orbital plane of a space station in circular orbit, is investigated from a reference system attached to the space station. Existing approximate solutions to this relative trajectory problem, of two bodies in Keplerian orbits about the same primary, are restricted to small relative displacements. A new first-order solution is derived from an exact solution: no restriction is placed on the relative displacement and the solution osculates with the exact solution at points corresponding to perigee and apogee of the probe's orbit. A geometrical description of the trajectories is given in terms of prolate cycloids plotted in a curvilinear coordinate system.
