Those parameters allow for the determination of both the position and the speed of the orbiting object in [[wp:cartesian coordinates|cartesian coordinates]], those two vectors constituting the so-called [[wp:orbital state vectors|orbital state vectors]].
The purpose of this task is to show how to perform this conversion from orbital elements to orbital state vectors in your programming language.▼
