Orbital Mechanics - Mean anomaly

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-11-06] [Hit: ]

Me = E - esin(E)

Is there another equation such that
Mh = F - esinh(F)

If so what the hell is it?
Any help appreciated.

The mean anomaly is a parameter relating position and time for a body moving in a Kepler orbit. It is based on the fact that equal areas are swept at the focus in equal intervals of time.

The mean anomaly increases uniformly from 0 to 2\pi radians during each orbit. However, it is not an angle. Due to Kepler's second law, the mean anomaly is proportional to the area swept by the focus-to-body line since the last periapsis.
The mean anomaly M can be computed from the eccentric anomaly E and the eccentricity e with Kepler's Equation:
M = E - e \cdot \sin E
.It is also frequently seen:
M = M_0 + nt,
Hope this helps.
