Orbit Odyssey: Simulating Satellite Paths in Earth’s Gravity

Background

Students will understand and simulate the orbital dynamics of satellites around Earth. This project integrates physics with astronomy, focusing on gravitational forces, orbital mechanics, and satellite technology. Students will use simulations to explore how various parameters affect satellite orbits.

Learning Outcome (LO)

  • LO #1: Gain a deep understanding of the principles governing satellite orbits and gravitational interactions.
  • LO #2: Develop skills in using simulation software and analyzing complex data related to orbital dynamics.
