Does O-F.com have a server? I'm not a big fan of public servers/games, but I'd be willing to try something out with a group of people who I know won't obliterate my work after I've logged off...
A friend of mine did a B.S. in physics and then went on to complete a M.S. in aerospace engineering. If you find physics isn't working out for you, you can always go to graduate school for engineering. Given that you'd absolutely have to go to graduate school to realistically pursue physics as...
Duly noted, thank you! Could you suggest a form of the function to be minimized that would also lend itself to quick minimization? My instinct is to write the problem as a function of the two anomalies (each representing a point on each orbit) and find the pair of anomalies that minimizes the...
Hi all!
I've got a fun orbits question I've been toying with for a few days now, and I've hit something of a wall. I was hoping I might get some insight from you fine folks that might push me in the general direction of the solution.
The question is this: given two arbitrary orbits defined by...
