This Xcos block allows for keplerian orbit propagation.
Block allows for propagation of Keplerian orbital elements from epoch time to the current time. As the model is Keplerian, only the mean anomaly varies. This block works for any type of orbit and any type of orbital elements. Event input activates the propagation. Classical Keplerian arguments (in order used in block input) are:
sma : semi-major axis [m]
ecc : eccentricity
inc : inclination [rad]
pom : periapsis argument [rad]
raan : right ascension of ascending node [rad]
anm : mean anomaly [m]
Input 1: 6x1 double (initial keplerian elements)
Input 2: 1x1 double (epoch time in modified julian day since 1950 format)
Input 2: 1x1 double (current time in modified julian day since 1950 format)
Output: 6x1 double (propagated keplerian elemnts)
