... Abstract Determine the set of osculating conic orbital elements that corresponds to the state (position, velocity) of a body at some epoch. ... In general, the elements found by this routine can have two kinds of problems: - The elements are not accurate but still represent the input state accurately. ... One recommended "sanity check" on the outputs is to supply them to the CSPICE routine conics_c and compare the resulting state vector with the one supplied to this routine. ...

... This is the both the simplest and the most effective option for reducing the "address already in use" error. ... A situation where this might be a problem is if my program is trying to find a reserved local port ( SO_REUSADDR , then each time I run the program on my machine, I'll keep getting the same local reserved port, even if it is stuck in TIME_WAIT , and I risk getting a "connect: Address already in use" error if I go back to any place I've been to in the last few minutes. ...
