The Orbital ElementsNote: We have shown how to use a, e <strong>and</strong> f to find the scalars r <strong>and</strong> v.Question: How do we find the vectors ⃗r <strong>and</strong> ⃗v?Answer: We have to determine how the orbit is oriented in space.• Orientation is determined by vectors ⃗e <strong>and</strong> ⃗ h.• We need 3 new orbital elements◮ Orientation can be determined by 3 rotations.M.
