Numerical Example 2<br />

Kepler_Test1 * (Analytic Kepler algorithms <strong>com</strong>pared with Numerical Integration)<br />

High Earth Orbit (HEO) , typical 2-Body solutions using the 2009 TLE file<br />

Input: (2009_298, isat = 19773)<br />

t1 = 0., t2 = 86400. (seconds)<br />

Output: kepler1b failed to converge, kepler1a and kepler2 converged to correct answer<br />
