   Linked via "state vector"

   | True Anomaly | $\nu$ (or Mean Anomaly $M$) | Angular position of the body at a specific epoch. | Degrees ($\circ$) |
   The state vector approach, often used in modern astrodynamics, specifies the position ($\mathbf{r}$) and velocity ($\mathbf{v}$) vectors of the body at a specific time (epoch). This vector description facilitates numerical propagation of the orbit through the integration of the equations of motion.
