ElToMEq:

Path: Orbit/OrbitCoord

% Transforms Keplerian elements to modified equinoctial elements.  
 The modified equinoctial elements are

   p = a(1 + e^2)
   f = ecos(w + W);
   g = esin(w + W);
   h = tan(i/2)cosW
   k = tan(i/2)sinW
   L = W + w + nu

 W is right ascension of the ascending node. 
 w is argument of perigee.
