Orbital Simulator

{{$t('general.by')}}
Filippo
Alimonda
This is a simple orbital simulator that allows you to know orbital parameters such as mechanical energy, eccentricity, latus rectum (p), true anomaly (nu), and orbit type. Note: The energy and eccentricity values vary (possibly due to quantization error?) although they wouldn't for a real stable orbit). Simulator Options: -Resume -Pause -Clear (clears orbital path) -Restart (resets the starting position and velocity of satellite) -Increase Mass -Decrease Mass -Velocity impulses in their respective direction The code is a little messy! This was my first try at a GUI with Processing.
