TABLE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE MOTION OF SATELLITES ON ELLIPTIC TRAJECTORIES, PART 2.

Abstract

This Technical Memorandum provides a table, by means of which the position of a satellite on its elliptical orbit, both in time and in space, can be quickly determined. The table yields directly to computation on spatial orbit. By adding the parameters of the motion of the earth, the relative motion of the satellite with respect to the earth is readily obtained.
