Just by knowing your posistion and velocity in space you can derieve everything there is to know about an orbit.
There are 6 different parameters we can use to describe our orbit that we call the keplerain orbital elements, they are:
Shape
-eccentricity
-semi major axis
Oriantion
-inlcination
-argument of periapsis
-right acension/longitude of ascending node
Posistion
-True anomaly
