Planets
Two small planets P1 and P2 orbit a star.
A small capsule is launched from P1. Try to place the capsule (green dot) in orbit around
planet P2. The initial velocity of the capsule is
V1 and launch angle θ1 . You can use the impulse engines to control capsule speed.
I wrote this about 20 years ago using C - it needs to be updated with more intuitive inputs and improved graphics.
