AdjustMeanAnomaly:

Path: SC/BasicOrbit

% Adjusts mean anomaly in an elements vector for a different start time.
 Only M is changed to account for a time difference. Epoch is the day
 for which the elements were generated. For example

   [el,jD0] = ISSOrbit;

 generates current elements from two line elements downloaded from the 
 web. jD0 is the Julian date of epoch.
