Question 74

What are Keplerian elements?

  1. Parameters that define the orbit of a satelliteCorrect answer
  2. Phase reversing elements in a Yagi antenna
  3. High-emission heater filaments used in magnetron tubes
  4. Encrypting codes used for spread spectrum modulation

Explanation

Keplerian elements are the small set of numbers that fix a satellite's orbit in space and time, so tracking software can predict where the spacecraft will be. They have nothing to do with antenna elements, tube filaments, or spread spectrum keys.
