Orbit Xplorer
With Orbit Xplorer orbit simulator you may: Calculate and plot the orbits of up to 10 gravitationally interacting bodies. Easily create, run, save and print your own orbit simulation. Show time, distance, velocity, acceleration and energy continously. Create graphs of distance, velocity, acceleration and energy v. time. Run up to four simultanous simulations. Some of the features: More than 20 simulations with on-screen activities in html format included. Uses actual pictures of planets. Concise help file. Our Review: Orbit Xplorer is a fantastic piece of software which maps the paths of planets, stars and satellites. A drag and drop feature allows the user to enter the ten known bodies in our solar system, with their values preset, or you can make up your own planet, entering the speed, gravity, mass, etc, yourself ( this can get a little confusing if you don't already have a basic grasp of what realistic values should be ). Great support for complex maths and great 3D displays make this essential for physicists, astronomers and students alike. Highly recommended.
