% Compute the orbital rate from distance and semi-major axis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: w = OrbRate( r, a, mu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ r (1,1) Radius a (1,1) Semi major axis (inf for parabola) mu (1,1) Gravitational parameter ------- Outputs ------- w (1,1) Angular velocity -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Bates, R.B. Fundamentals of Astrodynamics, pp. 28,34. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
