Document TLE's derived values #6

Open stevenpaligo opened 4 years ago

stevenpaligo commented 4 years ago

There are four derived values for TLEs and Latest TLEs: period, SMA, apogee height, perigee height. They may not be calculated how the user expects, so they should be documented. The following formulas come from the SpaceTrack website:

Perhaps those TLE-related classes would include getters for apogee/perigee radius as well.

The getters for the radius values were added in version 1.1.0.
