3D Orbit Tracking into reference system whose x-axis is the aries's direction, z-axis is rotation axis of the Earth, directed as the geographical North Pole and y-axis is that to determinate a right triad. If required you also can plot the ground track on the planisphere.
The equation of motion are based on the Keplerian model, without considering the perturbations. You can set the time of simulation, and all orbital parameters, as inclination, major semi-axis, RAAN, argument of perigee, eccentricity and mean anomaly at the departure.

Version Published Release Notes
1.4.0.0

sorry for continuous changes, but now the orbit3D package is complete!!!!! If you comment it, it's useful. Thanks

1.3.0.0

The following changes:
1) in the determination of the dynamics, in the conversion from true anomaly to eccentric, I worked on the angles with the "sind" and "cosd", now replaced with "sin" and "cos".
2) Improved option for viewing
