Thanks,
But what is special about this vector (i.e what makes it different from the position vector of the perihelion). Do I extract the ecliptic angle in the same way I did previously, but this time using the eccentricity vector?gneill said:The eccentricity vector can be determined starting with any r,v pair. As a bonus you also get the eccentricity of the orbit and the direction to perihelion.
