Path: Orbit/OrbitMechanics
% Computes the semi-major axis given the mean orbit rate. Has a built-in demo with a plot. Since version 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: a = N2A( n, mu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ n Mean orbit rate mu Gravitational constant (default is Earth) ------- Outputs ------- a Semi-major axis -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Bates, R.B.
