  • $\begingroup$ NASA's relative motion display on the ISS, RPOP, also showed this kind of relative trajectory after docking too. We just didn't bother propagating it more than about 10 minutes out. During sims on the ground it was even worse, because sims would cut data at soft-dock and RPOP would extrapolate the drift right through the ISS (no contact model in RPOP). $\endgroup$
