3. Keplerian movement
Keplerian motion is the trajectory obtained by solving the two-body problem. First, the geometric form of the trajectory is determined, then the hourly law of motion is established.
3.1 Geometric shape
The Ox axis is chosen along the eccentricity vector in the orbital plane. The angle θ between is called the true anomaly (figure
