% Computes the orbital velocity. If you don't enter a, you will get v for a circular orbit. Either a or r can be scalars. It will plot v against whichever is a vector. Since version 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: v = VOrbit( r, a, mu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ r (1,:) Radius a (1,:) Semi major axis (inf for parabola) mu (1,1) Gravitational parameter [default is Earth] ------- Outputs ------- v (1,:) Velocity -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Bates, R.B.
