In the following equation, what are orbital constants? r = .
In the following equation, what are orbital constants? r = . Correct Answer h2/μ
h and e (specific angular momentum and eccentricity) are the orbital constants among all the letters in the orbit equation. μ (standard gravitational parameter) is a constant that is independent of the orbit and depends on the mass of the larger body. Whereas, true anomaly (θ) is not constant and is dependent on the spacecraft/satellite position relative to perigee line.
