public static bool TryComputeRadiusOfApoapsis(
	double radiusOfPeriapsis,
	double eccentricity,
	out double radiusOfApoapsis
)

Parameters

radiusOfPeriapsis
Type: System.Double
The radius of periapsis of the orbit (distance).
eccentricity
Type: System.Double
The eccentricity of the orbit.
radiusOfApoapsis
Type: System.Double
On return, the radius of apoapsis of the orbit.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
