% Converts orbital elements to r and v for an elliptic orbit. Type El2RV for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [r, v] = El2RV( el, tol, mu ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ el (6,:) Elements vector [a;i;W;w;e;M] (angles in radians) tol (1,1)* Tolerance for Kepler's equation solver. (default = 1e-14) mu (1,1)* Gravitational constant. (default = 3.9860044e5) ------- Outputs ------- r (3,:) position vector v (3,:) velocity vector -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Battin, R.H., An Introduction to the Mathematics and Methods of Astrodynamics, p 128. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
