% Computes the parking orbit plane for a heliocentric injection. The parking orbit is defined in the ECI frame. The injection velocity is defined in the ecliptic frame. Type EclipticInjectionPlane for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [rAAN, inc] = EclipticInjectionPlane( jD, v ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ jD (1,1) Julian date of injection vEcl (3,1) Velocity vector in the ecliptic frame (xy ecliptic plane) ------- Outputs ------- rAAN (1,1) Right ascension of the ascending node (rad) inc (1,1) Orbit inclination (rad) dVEq (3,1) Earth-relative velocity in ECI (km/s) nEq (3,1) Orbit-normal vector for parking orbit --------------------------------------------------------------------------
