Adding Custom Orbit Objects/Orbit Paths

Open joaq-ram opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

The ability to visualize orbits of custom celestial objects or spacecraft via orbit paths/models. This capability exists in pyWWT for visualizing planetary orbits in the solar system view but not for individual spacecraft/ custom objects.

Implementation:

  • Specify orbital object position and time via SPICE kernels
  • Visualize the orbit path with a customizable tail (change thickness, color, longevity)
