spacecraft formation orbits whose mean element differences are chosen so that J2 perturbations cause the same secular drift for every member.

In astrodynamics, J2-invariant relative orbits refers to spacecraft formation orbits whose mean element differences are chosen so that J2 perturbations cause the same secular drift for every member. This meaning comes from Schaub (2001) in Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy.[1]
