I would like to know a initial launch radius and velocity vectors after the orbiter first establishes a ballistic orbit of a typical rocket launch (Space Shuttle, Saturn V, etc).
R = (rx)*i + (ry)*j + (rz)*k
V = (vx)*i + (vy)*j + (vz)*k
i - Direction of the Vernal Equinox
j - Righthand rule 90 degrees along the equator
k - Thru the North Pole
Anywhere along the True Anomaly Curve.
