This lecture covers the classical orbital parameters used in space mission design and operations, including inclination, longitude of ascending node, and argument of periapsis. It also explains the spacecraft's state vector and the difference between mean solar day and sidereal day. Additionally, it discusses Gregorian days versus Julian days and the conversion between them.
