About: Universal variable formulation

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In orbital mechanics, the universal variable formulation is a method used to solve the two-body Kepler problem. It is a generalized form of Kepler's Equation, extending them to apply not only to elliptic orbits, but also parabolic and hyperbolic orbits. It thus is applicable to many situations in the Solar System, where orbits of widely varying eccentricities are present.
