Orbit Generators. Orbit generators may be classified as those which use Kepler's equation to determine position and velocity, and those which integrate the equations of motion directly using models of the forces. Only the former are discussed here and only elliptical orbits are considered. Recall from Chapter 3 that Kepler's equation relates, for an eliptic orbit, the mean anomaly,* M, at some time, t, to the eccentric anomaly, E, at the same time by
where e is the eccentricity. If t0 is the epoch time of the elements, then the mean anomaly at time t is found from the mean anomaly at epoch by
where n=2sr/period is the mean motion. The utility routine ORBGEN (Section 203) solves Kepler's equation numerically to find E at any time before or after the epoch using an iterative solution to Eq. (5-30) (obtained using Newton's method). Successive estimates of E are given by l-.cos^.,) (5"32)
