Safety in Orbits

Inspiration

We were inspired by the many catastrophes which happen in space, and were hoping to solve this issue with a simulation.

What it does

The program simulates gravity and orbits on a fairly small scale.

How we built it

We built the program using the Processing library to render the environment. It was written in Javascript.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into a few challenges with the gravity system, but we managed to solve them using the Processing library's vectors.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our gravity system and the rocket's movement system.

What we learned

We learned how to use the Processing library to create 3d environments and how to utilize the Vector object.

What's next for Safety in Orbits

We wanted to add a way to launch the rockets from the planet, create more planets, and create an automatic controller for the rocket.
