Re: Lunar Mission Sim
I have written a gravity simulator. It works in 3D (x,y,z coordinates) and runs on a 1 second time interval. I can create any number of bodies in free space with mass, vector, and velocity. Of course this does not mean that there are any graphics. So far I have the Earth and the Moon, with them acting upon each other as the moon orbits the earth.
Next step is to put something in orbit of the earth and then fly it to the moon. I am not bothering with launching from the earth. Of course all of this is moot since Janus has a program that can do it already, but it has been a very interesting exercise and I have learned a great deal from spending time on it over the weekend. I will post it when I have added controls instead of setting all the value in code.
