% Computes mean orbital elements from reference ECI position and velocity
Since version 7.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[elRefMean, dElMean] = ECI2MeanElements(xRefECI, xRelECI, J2);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: it is assumed that all inputs have the same time-tag.
------
Inputs
------
xRefECI (6,1) reference position & velocity in ECI frame
xRelECI (6,:) relative positions & velocities in ECI frame
J2 (1) size of J2 perturbation
-------
Outputs
-------
elRefMean (1,6) mean orbital elements of the reference orbit
dElMean (:,6) mean orbital element differences
NOTE: Both element sets are in Alfriend format [a,theta,i,q1,q2,W]
