Arenstorf Orbit JS Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
F. Esquembre
Post a comment | Relations
Arenstorf orbits are closed trajectories of the restricted three-body problem. That is, two bodies of masses µ and 1-µ moving in a circular rotation, and a third body of negligible…
Central Force JS Model  [ Computer Program ]
