Orbit-on-Web

An Interactive Spacecraft Orbit Utilities Page

This site links a set of orbital utilities developed by me. You need a JavaScript enabled browser to use these utilities. This is what you can do here:

• Propagate an orbit.
• Transform orbital elements to state vector
• Transform state vector to orbital lements
• Solve Kepler's equation M=E-eSin(e) for an elliptical orbit
• Transfer between two circular orbits
• Compute velocity impulse for plane change
• Approximatley estimate an orbit from two position vectors and time.

  If you are looking for a good book on Orbital Mechanics, check this out.
