Are you sure that clock + 1 is what you want for the
numerical approximation? Default clock is from 0 to 1
so that step width is your entire animation movement.
Also, note that your orbital mechanics approximation is
seriously inaccurate for such a highly elliptical orbit. The
planet should be in one of the elliptical focal points, and
according to keplers 2nd law the satellite will move a lot
faster when near the planet.
