Description
Populates the Formation with states from a random Gaussian distribution described by the provided covariance matrix. The dimension and order of the covariance matrix is assumed to be consistent with the ProcessAction properties held in the first Spacecraft in the formation. The number of states generated is determined by the size of the provided Formation.
