Orbital Elements

Orbital Elements is a set of six canonical parameters—semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, longitude of the ascending node, argument of periapsis, and true anomaly—that uniquely define the size, shape, and orientation of a celestial or artificial body’s orbit in three-dimensional space relative to a central gravitating body.
