Orbit - Initial Research

[Aidan-Sheedy]

Motivation/Description ⛰️

Start researching orbital mechanics for background knowledge.

Next Steps 🚶

• [ ] research orbital mechanics to find the following information:
  • [ ] How do two bodies orbit each other?
  • [ ] What parameters can we use to describe an orbit
  • [ ] What are sun synchronous and ISS orbits?

Supporting Material and Resources 📖

External Resources

• Wikipedia on orbital mechanics
• Two Body Problem

Internal Resources

• Orbit Determination Documentation

Definition of Done 💯

Assignees should have a basic understanding of orbital mechanics and have this knowledge added to the Orbital Determination documentation.
