Path: Orbit/OrbitCoord

% Conmputes the orbit normal from orbital elements.

   Since version 1.

   Form:
   n = OrbNEl( el )
     -or-
   n = OrbNEl( i, W )

   Inputs
   ------
  One input:
   el              (1,6) Elements vector [a,i,W,w,e,M]
        -or- 

  Two inputs:
   inc             (1,:) Inclination (i)     [rad]
   rA              (1,:) Right ascension (W) [rad]
