In the present study relative state transition matrix was obtained. It matches the relative motion of 2 satellites while including the oblate perturbation. The used formulation applies the geometric approach and is in Cartesian frame. The relative state transition matrix uses absolute state transition matrix of individual satellites. Thereon, simplification in computing methods and on-board implementation at controls are explored in a leader/follower coordination method. Numerical experiments illustrate the accuracy when the baseline separation is equal to 2 km and eccentricity is 0.005 and 0.05 for all the inclinations.
