Since we are solving Keplers Equation for
each and every Time point in our propagation of
the orbit convergence speed becomes critically
important Clearly, since convergence near
the Perigee of an eccentric orbit can be a bit Of
a problem Its clear that we need . a
better way to start each iteration Next time
