|    Interplanetary trajectory software?    |
|    19 Feb 04 12:02:45    |
      From: virker@ikke.invalid.retro.com              There is plenty of software available for visualizing and calculating       satellite orbits around the Earth, but I can't seem to find any software for       calculation - and preferably also visualization - of interplanetary       trajectories. I'm looking for a program not too expensive (for private,       educational use - preferably free :-) no more than $100), which is able to       e.g. simulate a trip to Mars. I can calculate a simple Hohmann-transfer       myself, so I'm looking for a program that is able to take into account e.g.       the difference in inclinations and eccentricities of the departure and       arrival planets, relativistic effects, etc.              The more functions, the better. For instance, if you could input the       spacecraft mass, fuel type and engine thrust, it should be able to calculate       burn durations.              /steen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
