FA-69509 / Orbital propagation / Member archive

State vector from classical elements: Velocity scale uses the current radius · case 04

Speeds are wrong everywhere except on circular orbits.

Case contract

Input [p, e, i, raan, argp, nu, mu] (km, degrees). Perifocal position r=p/(1+e cos nu)[cos nu, sin nu, 0] and velocity sqrt(mu/p)[-sin nu, e+cos nu, 0] are rotated to the inertial frame by R3(-raan)R1(-i)R3(-argp). Return [r rounded 4, v rounded 7].

Why this case matters

Orbit determination and mission planning chain many small conversions; one wrong branch or unit silently moves a spacecraft by kilometres.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
