Orbital Elements of a Sun Synchronous Orbit

Orekit usage
1

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to obtain RAAN (Right Ascension of Ascending Node) in orekit for a sun-synchronous orbit given the mean local time at the ascending node (MLTAN).

For eg, for a 600km sun-synchronous orbit with MLTAN of 10-am, how do I obtain all the orbital elements?

Thanks in advance!

You can look at the phasing tutorial here:
https://gitlab.orekit.org/orekit/orekit-tutorials/-/blob/master/src/main/java/org/orekit/tutorials/bodies/Phasing.java

This tutorial manages both mean local time and phasing with respect to Earth.

Great. Those are pretty detailed. Thank you, Luc, once again.
