Conversion Of Classical Orbital Elements
Abstract
OSMEAN is sophisticated program that converts between osculating and mean classical orbital elements. Enables engineer to exploit advantages of each approach for design and planning or orbital trajectories and maneuvers. Converts mean elements to osculating elements or vice-versa. Conversion based on mathematical modeling of all first-order aspherical terrestrial, lunar, and solar gravitational perturbations plus second-order aspherical term based on second-degree central-body zonal perturbation. Written in FORTRAN 77.
