Sattelites orbiting earth - Baboon - 04.01.2019

I've created a script that does orbital mechanics (based on earth's parameters). It creates and stores the trajectory, with velocities and other information regarding the orbit, initially I started with a matlab script and simulated real-time how the sattelite would orbit the planet. Some orbits could take several hours, so I added a multiplier to speed up the motion. Obviously used scaling, since we can't make a planet the size of earth in the SA-map. The sattelite in the pictures represent a SpaceX dragon capsule connected to a Bigelow cabin (which has a diameter in reality of about 20 meters). I also added 2 pictures where 2 sattelites are orbiting after one another, that just shows how small these objects are at a distance.

- Currently looking for modellers (blender) and mappers that would like to help me with this project. Please PM me if you'd like to!

Enjoy the pics, a video coming sooner or later..

Probably will take some time. Will create modular models, so spacecrafts can be connected to one another. So will the interiors.
Maybe gonna throw in a launch video. And mapping that's important.

Looks awesome
i wonder how it works, i mean sa has flat earth lol

Are you the guy that had a "small idea" to make a space-travelling server? If so, then you're doing a good job.

Yeah, that's me! Glad you like it!


Re: Sattelites orbiting earth - iorp - 05.01.2019

Nice Job, Like it


Re: Sattelites orbiting earth - Logic_ - 06.01.2019

You have never disappointed me lol. Amazing work as always.


Re: Sattelites orbiting earth - X337 - 06.01.2019

cool, good job


Re: Sattelites orbiting earth - Baboon - 07.01.2019

Thanks guys! If you have any suggestions for a server like this, please let me know. Really interested in what people can come up with.

A sattelite is an object in orbit around earth. You could even say the earth is a sattelite of the sun.
