In a parabolic orbit, the true anomaly ν (as a function of the time) can be obtained by solving a cubic equation for tan ν/2, the so-called Barker equation. A modified method of solution is described and it is shown that this new form is very efficient from a computational point of view: it needs less program statements, is faster, and it has greater accuracy than the normally used trigonometric solution.
