OrbitalElementsTryConvertMeanAnomalyToTimeSincePreviousPeriapsis Method |
Tries to convert the mean anomaly to the time of flight since the previous periapsis passage in seconds. The value returned is positive and, for closed orbits, periodic.

Parameters
- meanAnomaly
- Type: SystemDouble
The mean anomaly (radians). - radiusOfPeriapsis
- Type: SystemDouble
The radius of periapsis. - eccentricity
- Type: SystemDouble
The eccentricity of the orbit. - gravitationalParameter
- Type: SystemDouble
The gravitational parameter of the central body being orbited. - timeSincePreviousPeriapsis
- Type: SystemDouble
On return,
the time since the previous periapsis passage.
Return Value
Type:
Boolean if
eccentricity is negative
or
radiusOfPeriapsis or
gravitationalParameter is negative or zero
or if the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic) and
meanAnomaly is negative or zero; otherwise
