Simulation of orbital mechanics
Built a Python-based orbital mechanics simulation project that models planetary motion with Newtonian gravity, compares forward Euler vs. symplectic Euler integration, and visualizes long-term orbit stability. The project progresses from a fixed-Sun orbit model to a moving two-bodysystem, then to a Sun–Earth–Jupiter gravitational slingshot scenario where a spacecraft gains enough energy to escape, with energy/convergence analysis and matplotlib plots throughout.
