Path: Orbit/OrbitCoord
% Computes sma and eccentricity given v and r. Will generate a plot when called with no outputs. If the lengths of v and r are equal it will treat them sequentially so a and e are both (1,n). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [a, e] = VR2AE( v, r, mu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ v (1,n) Velocity r (1,m) Radius mu Gravitational parameter (default = 3.98600436e5) ------- Outputs ------- a (m,n) Semi major axis e (m,n) Eccentricity --------------------------------------------------------------------------
