Domain-specific

• Perifocal Coordinate System
  • Its origin is the attracting focus; \(\hat{\mathbf p}\) points toward periapsis; \(\hat{\mathbf w}=\mathbf h/\|\mathbf h\|\) follows the specific angular momentum; and \(\hat{\mathbf q}=\hat{\mathbf w}\times\hat{\mathbf p}\) completes the orbital plane.
