- Space orbiter simulator-
Continous thrusted flight
Place your satellite on the geostationary orbit, by spendig the less possible fuel.
Your satellite, that you can configure, starts its journey on a circular orbit at an altitude of nearly 700km. You shall then try to place it on the geostationary orbit (36 000km) by the means of your engine that will be fired at different steps of the flight. For each step of thrust you can choose its starting time, its duration, how strong is the thrust (fuel loss per second) and the direction of the thrust that is defined with respect to the direction of orbiter's velocity.
Note that the fuel loss per second as well as the thrust angle can be defined as mathematical functions of the time f(t). Also note that hiting return is equivalent to click on the run button.
This simulator is based on the equations coming from the Theorem of the Keplerian Kinematics.
