This is a simulator of two-body model where one massive body fixed at the origin, one light planet. Real space missions we will add more bodies, perturbations, and better integrators to produce better outcome but the core idea is exactly this system.

Simulation Tips

  • Presets: Change to 4 differet modes to set starting orbits.
  • Central Body: Raise or Lower GM for the planet.
  • Initial State: Tune radius, speed factor, velocity angle, and start phase for custom trajectories.
  • Visuals: Toggle the Trail and use the slider to set its length. Clear Trail wipes the path.

Shortcuts

  • Pan: Drag • Zoom: Wheel or +/-
  • Play / Pause: Space
  • Reset View: R (re-center pan/zoom)
  • Export Video: E (start / stop recording)
