Classical Orbital Elements (COEs)

Classical Orbital Elements (COEs)

As part of the Your Place In Space initiative, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) invites you to explore their space-inspired K-12 STEM resources on its agency website. We hope you find helpful materials that equip and empower your students to discover, explore, and create their place in space! 

Learn the COEs and how they give us a practical way of understanding the characteristics of an orbit.
