Eckstein-Hechler model generates orbits with wrong velocity
A large inconsistency exists in Eckstein-Hechler generated orbits up to 6.x versions.
The problem is that if the circular parameters produced by the
Eckstein-Hechler
model are used to build an orbit considered to be osculating, the
velocity deduced
from this orbit is inconsistent with the position evolution! This means
the velocity
is not exactly the time derivative of the position.
The reason is that the model includes non-Keplerian effects but it does
not include a
corresponding circular/Cartesian conversion. As a consequence, all
subsequent computation
involving velocity are wrong. This includes attitude modes like yaw
compensation and Doppler
effect.
