Hello!
This is a hobby-project, to create a software to navigate inside the solar system, namely
- Model the movement of the planets and moons / asteroids in the solar system, thus create a live "starmap".
- Calculate launch trajectories from different planets, and reach orbits around them.
- Calculate interplanetary trajectories, and achieve orbital insertion.
- Calculate fuel consumption.
- Attitude control of spacecraft.
In the future, it is planned to refactor the python code to C / C++ as an exercise.
- Launch trajectory calculation in an object-centered, inertial-frame of reference (e.g. spacecraft launch from Earth)
- Animation for self-checks
