ENH: Orbital Simulations

Open giovaniceotto opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Current High Power Rockets are already reaching the Karman line... soon, they will be entering orbits as well, it is just a matter of time.

We need to be prepared, so this issue proposes modifications to RocketPy to support orbital flights.

Requirements

  • High altitude atmospheric models to simulate drag above the stratosphere
  • High fidelity gravitational models, such as EGM 2008
  • Specialized plotting and analysis functionality geared towards orbital flights

Proposed Milestone

This implementation definitely requires a big leap. Thus, as of right now, v3.0.0 seems to be the soonest that we can bring this feature in.
