Orbit propagation (all analytical models)
[result1, result2] = CL_ex_propagate(mod, type_oe, t1, mean_oe_t1, t2, res [, er, mu, j1jn])
Propagates orbital elements using one analytical model.
The available propagation models are:
"central": Central force (osculating elements = mean elements)
"j2sec": Secular effects of J2 (osculating elements = mean elements by convention)
"lydsec": Lyddane (mean elements include secular effects only)
"lydlp": Lyddane (mean elements include secular and long period effects)
"eckhech": Eckstein-Hechler (mean elements include secular and long period effects)
Notes:
- There can be 1 or N initial times, and 1 or N final times.
- Conversions take place if the type of orbital elements is not the "natural" type for the model. There is no conversion for the "central" and "j2sec" models.
See Propagation models for more details.
