OrbitalElements.TryConvertEccentricAnomalyToTimeFromPeriapsis Method

Tries to convert the eccentric anomaly to the time of flight from the corresponding periapsis passage in seconds. The value returned is signed and monotonic even for periodic orbits.

Namespace:  AGI.Foundation.Coordinates
Assembly:  AGI.Foundation.Core (in AGI.Foundation.Core.dll) Version: 25.1.421.0 (25.1.421.0)
Syntax
public static bool TryConvertEccentricAnomalyToTimeFromPeriapsis(
	double eccentricAnomaly,
	double radiusOfPeriapsis,
	double eccentricity,
	double gravitationalParameter,
	out double timeFromPeriapsis
)

Parameters

eccentricAnomaly
Type: System.Double
The eccentric anomaly (radians).
radiusOfPeriapsis
Type: System.Double
The radius of periapsis.
eccentricity
Type: System.Double
The eccentricity of the orbit.
gravitationalParameter
Type: System.Double
The gravitational parameter of the central body being orbited.
timeFromPeriapsis
Type: System.Double
On return, the time since the last periapsis passage.

Return Value

Type: Boolean
false if eccentricity is negative or greater than or equal to one or radiusOfPeriapsis or gravitationalParameter is negative or zero; otherwise true.
