Equatorial Plane
( defined by Earth’s equator )
Sample inclinations
Ascending Node is where a 0° -- Geostationary
satellite crosses the equatorial 52° -- ISS
plane moving south to north 98° -- Mapping
Right Ascension [1] of the ascending node Ω
and Argument of perigee ω (5th and 6th Elements)
Ω = angle from
