poliastro2.math.propagation.mikkola(k, r0, v0, tof, rtol=None)

Raw algorithm for Mikkola’s Kepler solver.

Parameters:

• k (float) – Standard gravitational parameter of the attractor.

• r0 (numpy.ndarray) – Position vector.

• v0 (numpy.ndarray) – Velocity vector.

• tof (float) – Time of flight.

• rtol (float) – This method does not require tolerance since it is non-iterative.

Returns:

• rr (numpy.ndarray) – Final velocity vector.

• vv (numpy.ndarray) – Final velocity vector.
