3. Keplerian movement

Keplerian motion is the trajectory obtained by solving the two-body problem. First, the geometric form of the trajectory is determined, then the hourly law of motion is established.

3.1 Geometric shape

The Ox axis is chosen along the eccentricity vector $\vec{e}$ in the orbital plane. The angle θ between $\vec{e} et \vec{r}$ is called the true anomaly (figure
