Fix order of magnitudes #17

Closed jorgepiloto closed 3 years ago

jorgepiloto commented 3 years ago

I noticed the order of magnitude of the initial position vector in validate_elements::validate_rv2coe was given in u.km but assumed to be in u.m during the whole workflow. Just a quick fix :sweat_smile:

Values from the validate_elements::validate_coe2rv were updated to match Example 4.3 from Curtis' book.

In fact, this proofs that no matter the initial values, Orekit and poliastro will raise the same numerical output. So that is the idea behind validation :wink:

Merging this!
