[SOLVED] The six orbital elements to Orbit class?


Recommended Posts

The Orbit class has a bit of a confusing naming convention, I'm looking for the six orbital elements to be used in calculations.
the official API docs have nothing documented besides the following:
 

double 	ApA [get]
double 	ApR [get]
double 	PeA [get]
double 	PeR [get]
double 	semiLatusRectum [get]
double 	semiMinorAxis [get]

 

semiMinorAxis? I thought it was supposed to be semiMajorAxis?
I see nothing mentioning Angular Momentum, Ascending Node, etc...


update: I figured it out, the docs aren't very helpful at all.
Angular Momentum is a Vector3d identified as Orbit.h and the remaining five classical elements are obviously named variables, not properties.
