The basic orbit determination task is to determine the classical orbital elements or Keplerian elements, ,,,,, from the orbital state vectors [,], of an orbiting body with respect to the reference frame of its central body. The central bodies are the sources of the gravitational forces, like the Sun, Earth, Moon and other planets.
NOTE: Gauss's method is a preliminary orbit determination, with emphasis on preliminary. The approximation of the Lagrange coefficients and the limitations of the required observation conditions (i.e., insignificant curvature in the arc between observations, refer to Gronchi [ 2 ] for more details) causes inaccuracies.
The template takes a single optional parameter—a description of what the image should illustrate. Adds page to Category:Wikipedia requested orbital diagrams . If you are requesting a technical illustration (e.g. a graph), please provide as much reference data as possible.

This template is part of a group of templates that are used to display information about the orbital characteristics of an extrasolar planetary system. The list should always have {{OrbitboxPlanet begin}} as the first in the list, while the list should have {{Orbitbox end}} as the last in the list. This particular template can be used as follows:
The longitude of the ascending node, also known as the right ascension of the ascending node, is one of the orbital elements used to specify the orbit of an object in space. Denoted with the symbol Ω , it is the angle from a specified reference direction, called the origin of longitude , to the direction of the ascending node (☊), as ...
