Orbital state vectors
text:
In astrodynamics and celestial dynamics, the orbital state vectors of an orbit are
Cartesian vectors of position and velocity that together with their time (epoch) uniquely determine the trajectory of the orbiting body in space. Orbital state vectors come in many forms including the traditional Position-Velocity vectors, Two-line element set (TLE), and Vector Covariance Matrix (VCM).
