3D Orbital Grapher

App used to graph Keplerian Orbits based on Classical Orbital Elements.

This is a simple orbital graphing utility that will use Kepler's classical orbital elements to graph satellite motion, as well as compute the classical orbital elements of the satellite body.

Graphing is simple: Just input A) Position/velocity vectors of satellite body, B) Standard gravitation parameter of orbiting body, and finally press the "Graph Orbit" button to view the 3D graph.

Controls:

- Swipe with one finger to rotate the view

- Pinch to zoom in/out

- Double tap to enter/exit "Trace" mode

- While in trace mode, swipe to calculate positions along the path

Note: This app uses OpenGL Es 2.0, and thus requires Android 2.2 or higher. This was primarily a learning experience, so I can't guarantee robustness on all android devices, or consistent support. If you find any inaccuracies in the calculations, or graphing please let me know at [email protected].
