Classical/Keplerian Orbital Elements

The six orbital elements, none of which were invented by me.

Brilliant! Really clearly explained, lecturers take note!

[himani_hp]

Such a beautiful and clear explanation with simple and clean 3D view for further references! Thank you so much! Was eagerly searching for something like this. This helped me a lot :)

[GeorgePlant-cc]

This is the best explanation of orbital elements that I have ever had the pleasure to rendezvous with.

everything was clear till 9:30 when you ask where is the periapsis the point that you already explained that it is positioned at the closest distance from the center of earth to the orbit at the point where you pointed the question mark .
but thank you a lot for the simplicity and conciseness of the lecture .

Thank you for a clear explanation! I was stuck on this topic for so long and finally got the understanding.

[aslalop]

A much needed visualisation. Many thanks!

[roshaan]

I had trouble understanding what argument of periapsis was. This made it clear for me. Thanks a lot!

[carltonbauer]

The most clear definitions I have found. Thanks much.

[rajarajansb]

I have no words to thank you! Thanks a ton, man!

[nupoortendolkar]

it cleared all my misconceptions about orbital elements...Thanks a lot for uploading this video....

[ugopalazzooddo]

Thank you! Very clear. When one picture is worth a million words...

[therodgepodge]

Thank you very much! The explanation was lucid and crystal clear. This really contributed to getting my basics straight. Cheers!

8:48 to completely determine the orbit one parameter is missing. Its the location of the perigee / argument of periapsis (little omega). It is the angle from the RAAN to the perigee as you mentioned afterwards. The true anomaly locates the exact position on the orbit

[derrickalphaeus]

Good job! you beat my professor in explaining orbital parameters

[BadenBadenSwitzerBaden]

How do we know this? First, because I said so. Second, because it looks like it. Love it! Very well explained video, thank you!

[aaadamaa]

I had been stuck on the argument of periapsis for a while now. This finally make it click.

[tobattle]

Excellent, wish this was around when I started satellite communications.

[prathameshmore]

That was brilliant. Thank you so much.

What is the ascending node for an orbit which lies in the equatorial plane? Or does it not exist??

[theGentec]

very well explained, now i understand my orbits in KSP :D
