ORBITAL AND DYNAMIC ELEMENTS FOR SIMPLIFIED TWO BODY PROBLEMS

Abstract

The solution to the simplified two body problem is presented based on the parameters of the radial and normal components of velocity made dimensionless by division by the circular velocity at injection. The orbital and dynamic elements are presented in graphical form for velocities up to ten times the circular velocity at injection.
