Path: Orbit/OrbitMechanics
% Generate an orbit by propagating Keplerian elements.
The orbit may have any eccentricity, including parabolic or hyperbolic.
If t is not entered it generate one orbit. If there are no arguments it
will plot the orbit. Enter rPlanet to draw a planet sphere. If the sun
vector is entered as well the planet sphere will be illuminated.

Form:
[r, v, t] = RVOrbGen( el, t, uSun, mu, rPlanet, tol )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
elI (1,6) Elements vector [a,i,W,w,e,M] or structure
t (1,:) Time vector (sec)
uSun (3,1) Sun vector*
mu (1,1) Gravitational parameter
rPlanet (1,1) Planet radius*
tol (1,1) Orbit propagation tolerance (1e-8)
* inputs for plotting purposes only
-------
Outputs
-------
r (3,:) Position vectors for times t
v (3,:) Velocity vectors for times t
t (1,:) Times at which r and v are calculated
