When Lindt is in his office and putting on his work coat, the blackboard behind him has a diagram on it detailing the Clohessy-Wiltshire problem.
From the Wiki article for the Clohessy-Wiltshire equations.
"The Clohessy–Wiltshire equations describe a simplified model of orbital relative motion, in which the target is in a circular orbit, and the chaser spacecraft is in an elliptical or circular orbit. This model gives a first-order approximation of the chaser's motion in a target-centered coordinate system. It is used to plan the rendezvous of the chaser with the target."
