public class KeplerianOrbit
extends Orbit
```
This class handles traditional Keplerian orbital parameters.
The parameters used internally are the classical Keplerian elements:
```
     a
     e
     i
     ω
     Ω
     v
   
```
where ω stands for the Perigee Argument, Ω stands for the Right Ascension of the Ascending Node and v stands for the true anomaly.
This class supports hyperbolic orbits, using the convention that semi major axis is negative for such orbits (and of course eccentricity is greater than 1).

When orbit is either equatorial or circular, some Keplerian elements (more precisely ω and Ω) become ambiguous so this class should not be used for such orbits. For this reason, equinoctial orbits is the recommended way to represent orbits.

The instance KeplerianOrbit is guaranteed to be immutable.

  - shiftedBy
```
public KeplerianOrbit shiftedBy(double dt)
```
    Get a time-shifted orbit.
    The orbit can be slightly shifted to close dates. The shifting model is a Keplerian one if no derivatives are available in the orbit, or Keplerian plus quadratic effect of the non-Keplerian acceleration if derivatives are available. Shifting is not intended as a replacement for proper orbit propagation but should be sufficient for small time shifts or coarse accuracy.
    
    Specified by:
    
    shiftedBy in interface TimeShiftable<Orbit>
    
    Specified by:
    
    shiftedBy in class Orbit
    
    Parameters:
    
    dt - time shift in seconds
    
    Returns:
    
    a new orbit, shifted with respect to the instance (which is immutable)
  - interpolate
```
public KeplerianOrbit interpolate(AbsoluteDate date,
                                  Stream<Orbit> sample)
```
    Get an interpolated instance.
    Note that the state of the current instance may not be used in the interpolation process, only its type and non interpolable fields are used (for example central attraction coefficient or frame when interpolating orbits). The interpolable fields taken into account are taken only from the states of the sample points. So if the state of the instance must be used, the instance should be included in the sample points.
    
    Note that this method is designed for small samples only (say up to about 10-20 points) so it can be implemented using polynomial interpolation (typically Hermite interpolation). Using too much points may induce Runge's phenomenon and numerical problems (including NaN appearing).
    
    The interpolated instance is created by polynomial Hermite interpolation on Keplerian elements, without derivatives (which means the interpolation falls back to Lagrange interpolation only).
    
    As this implementation of interpolation is polynomial, it should be used only with small samples (about 10-20 points) in order to avoid Runge's phenomenon and numerical problems (including NaN appearing).
    
    If orbit interpolation on large samples is needed, using the Ephemeris class is a better way than using this low-level interpolation. The Ephemeris class automatically handles selection of a neighboring sub-sample with a predefined number of point from a large global sample in a thread-safe way.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - interpolation date
    
    sample - sample points on which interpolation should be done
    
    Returns:
    
    a new instance, interpolated at specified date
