public class OrbitalElements
extends Object

Represents Keplerian Orbital Elements.

Defines an orbit using 6 parameters:

• a: Semi-major axis (m)
• e: Eccentricity (dimensionless)
• i: Inclination (rad)
• Ω (Omega): Longitude of ascending node (rad)
• ω (omega): Argument of periapsis (rad)
• M: Mean anomaly at epoch (rad)
