The problem of calculating earth satellite entry/exit positions and times through the earth's umbra and penumbra for elliptical satellite orbits is solved in closed form; i.e., without iteration, by reducing the problem to that of finding the roots of a quartic polynomial in a cartesian coordinate. Typical results from an algorithm constructed from the method are shown.
