Math formulas

Nodal regression

 ${\displaystyle P}$ Orbit parameter, ${\displaystyle p=a\cdot (1-\epsilon ^{2})}$ ${\displaystyle u}$ corrected true anomaly, ${\displaystyle u=\omega +\varphi }$ ${\displaystyle R_{E}}$ mean planetary radius ${\displaystyle J_{2}}$ non spherical gravity term ${\displaystyle i}$ inclination ${\displaystyle \omega }$ Argument of perigee ${\displaystyle \epsilon }$ eccentricity

${\displaystyle {\frac {d\Omega }{du}}=-3\cdot J_{2}\cdot ({\frac {R_{E}}{p}})\cdot \sin ^{2}{u}\cdot \cos {i}\cdot [1+\epsilon \cdot \cos {u-\omega }]}$
