Better equations for modeling and simulating a halo orbit?
I'm trying to model a halo orbit at low altitude (10m from surface). The satellite is using propulsion to trace the circular halo path. It looks like this "from the top" (the blue ball is ...

Circular velocity vector on the surface of spherical potential (gravity)
So, I would like to integrate paths of particles on circular velocity on the surface of a sphere (due to some potential, i.e. gravity).
The problem is to fix the two angular velocities $\dot \theta $ ...

How can the orbital motion of planets around the sun be calculated taking into account the force exerted by other planets?
In The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Vol. 1, Chapter 9), Feynman explained how to calculate the planetary motion by just using the Newton's laws of motion and the Euler's method as a numerical solution ...

Using 2D position, velocity, and mass to determine the parametric position equations for an orbiting body
I have a gravity-related question. I am programming an orbit simulator. I have everything up and running, but I would like to render the smaller body's orbital path (the larger body is fixed). To do ...
