mubody.core.kepler.velocity_from_energy(mu, energy, r)

Computes velocity in a given orbital position from energy.

Parameters:

• mu (float) – Standard gravitational parameter of the central body [km3/s2]

• energy (float) – Orbital energy [km2/s2]

• r (float) – Distance to central body [km]

Returns:

v – Orbital velocity [km/s]

Return type:

float
