[−][src]Function vsop87::mars
pub fn mars(jde: f64) -> VSOP87Elements
Calculates VSOP87 solution for Mars.
This function calculates the VSOP87 solution (heliocentric ecliptic orbital elements for the
equinox J2000.0) for the planet Mars. The parameter needed is the Julian Day (JD) for the
given date. It returns the VSOP87Elements
of the VSOP87 solution.
Example
Given a date in JD, we can get the orbit of the planet Mars. In this case, we calculate the orbit of Mars in December 19th, 1199.
let vsop87_elts = vsop87::mars(2159345.0); assert!(vsop87_elts.a > 1.5237578877 && vsop87_elts.a < 1.5237578879); assert!(vsop87_elts.l > 4.0669853278 && vsop87_elts.l < 4.0669853280); assert!(vsop87_elts.k > 0.0821906316 && vsop87_elts.k < 0.0821906318); assert!(vsop87_elts.h > -0.0427917583 && vsop87_elts.h < -0.0427917581); assert!(vsop87_elts.q > 0.0103081045 && vsop87_elts.q < 0.0103081047); assert!(vsop87_elts.p > 0.01313608 && vsop87_elts.p < 0.01313684);
It can then be converted into keplerian elements:
use vsop87::{KeplerianElements, VSOP87Elements}; let k_elements: KeplerianElements = vsop87_elts.into(); let convert_back = VSOP87Elements::from(k_elements);
