AB  - The main focus of the study is to present the mechanism of the orbit in terms of time and position in a more simplified fashion using Kepler’s laws. It also shows the various planes transformation between the rotating earth and the orbiting satellite. An illustrative location of a satellite is also presented. The researchers use the geocentric coordinate system that has the centre of mass of the earth as the origin of the coordinate which is the equatorial polar coordinate system where the z-axis extends through the north geographic pole.
