Basic usage
From keplerian elements:
var czml = require("czml-writer");
var orbit = new czml.orbit.fromParams({
apogee: 426.9, // km
perigee: 416.2, // km
inclination: 51.65, // deg
rightAscension: 304.1, // deg
argumentOfPeriapsis: 117.8 // deg
});
var output = orbit.czml();
From two-line elements
var czml = require("czml-writer");
var tle = 'NOAA 14\n' +
'1 23455U 94089A 97320.90946019 .00000140 00000-0 10191-3 0 2621\n' +
'2 23455 99.0090 272.6745 0008546 223.1686 136.8816 14.11711747148495';
var orbit = new czml.orbit.fromTle(tle);
var output = orbit.czml();
To expose and use kepler.js orbit object
var kepler = orbit.orbit;
//angularMomentum
var angularMomentum = kepler.angularMomentum();
//radialVelocity
var radialVelocity = kepler.radialVelocity();
//eccentricity
var eccentricity = kepler.eccentricity();
//semimajorAxis
var semimajorAxis = kepler.semimajorAxis();
//semiminorAxis
var semiminorAxis = kepler.semiminorAxis();
//semilatusRectum
var semilatusRectum = kepler.semilatusRectum();
//inclination
var inclination = kepler.inclination();
//nodeLine
var nodeLine = kepler.nodeLine();
//rightAscension
var rightAscension = kepler.rightAscension();
//argumentOfPeriapsis
var argumentOfPeriapsis = kepler.argumentOfPeriapsis();
//trueAnomaly
var trueAnomaly = kepler.trueAnomaly();
//apoapsis
var apoapsis = kepler.apoapsis();
//periapsis
var periapsis = kepler.periapsis();
//period
var period = kepler.period();
