Hello Folks
  I am in need of help in solving a three part problem. Hopefully some
patient soul out there will look upon this request as a challenge and
not the nightmare I do!
  First, how is an elliptical orbital path for an object created?
  Secondly, how can the speed of the orbit and the shape of the path be
graduated individually or interdependently over a set variable of time?
  And finally, could an elliptical orbital path be intersected at any
two points with a straight line and rotated on that axis?
  Thanx in advance to any that respond,
   TGL
