ENH: Orbital Simulations
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.
