Interception again
Ok I just want to intercept an object moving in an elliptical path with an object with acceleration a at a time t.
I need to get a(e,o,t) where E is the object's elliptical path and it's position in it at t=0 and o is the interceptor object's kinetical status (displacement and velocity) at t=0

Well...
well the equation for an ellipse is:
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
where a and b are the x and y axis intercepts.

Well...
I think he knows that already.

Oh and i definitely forgot one thing, the object that is moving in the elliptical path is a satellite, so Keplers laws are applied,A^2=R^3 or something i'm not quite sure.
