The classical orbital elements of an orbit are eccentricity, angular momentum, inclination, right ascension of ascending node, true anomaly, and argument of perigee. These six parameters define an orbit. Using MATLAB® to model a satellite orbiting Earth in three dimensions, a graphical user interface was created to allow a user to manipulate the orbital elements to desired quantities. In doing so, each parameter’s impact on the orbit is visually displayed. This furthers the understanding of how the parameters are linked to the orbit. When the interface is first opened, the default circular orbit has a range of 20,000 kilometers, an …
