Given the total mass and the scalars r and v at a single point of the orbit, one can compute the specific orbital energy, allowing an object orbiting a larger object to be classified as having not enough energy to remain in orbit, hence being " suborbital " ( a ballistic missile, for example ), having enough energy to be " orbital ", but without the possibility to complete a full orbit anyway because it eventually collides with the other body, or having enough energy to come from and / or go to infinity ( as a meteor, for example ).
