    Index
    began: Date

    When the orbit began: the last perigee, fraction of a period ago.

    completesInSeconds: number

    How long until it is back at perigee, in seconds: the rest of the orbit at the mean motion.

    ends: Date

    When it ends: the next perigee, completesInSeconds from the instant, where the next orbit begins.

    fraction: number

    How much of the orbit is behind it since the last perigee, in [0, 1).

    periodSeconds: number

    One orbit at the mean motion, in seconds (orbitalPeriodSeconds).
