Constructors
  NameDescription
Public methodKeplerianElements(DelaunayElements)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian elements from a set of DelaunayElements.
Public methodKeplerianElements(EquinoctialElements)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian elements from a set of EquinoctialElements.
Public methodKeplerianElements(ModifiedKeplerianElements)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian elements from a set of ModifiedKeplerianElements.
Public methodKeplerianElements(MotionCartesian, Double)

Public methodKeplerianElements(DelaunayElements, Double, Double)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian elements from a set of DelaunayElements.
Public methodKeplerianElements(EquinoctialElements, Double, Double)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian elements from a set of EquinoctialElements.
Public methodKeplerianElements(MotionCartesian, Double, Double, Double)
Initializes a new instance from the specified cartesian motion and gravitational constant.
Public methodKeplerianElements(Cartesian, Cartesian, Double, Double, Double)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian elements from a cartesian position and velocity.
Public methodKeplerianElements(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double)
Initialize a set of classical Keplerian orbital elements. The given elements must represent a closed orbit. For other orbit types, use ModifiedKeplerianElements.
