Weighing just 55 pounds, CAPSTONE serves as the first spacecraft to test a unique, elliptical lunar orbit. This makes it a pathfinder for Gateway, a Moon-orbiting outpost that is part of NASA’s Artemis program. In this role, CAPSTONE will help reduce risk for future spacecraft by validati...
Doing that, however causes some property scope errors because the entity I refer to in the OrbitAnimation code is my entity that I create in the RealityView code block...so the update: closure code block can't see the entity property. Trying to make the entity reference more global at th...
if you look at a lunar calendar april 6th was new moon and the day these videos were taken. now, there is a new moon every month, so why can it only capture the "full earth" twice a year? check out this link for a cool animation of the moon orbiting the earth from the ...

This animation generally shows the nature of orbit. Synchronous orbit is a type of orbit in which the period of time it takes a satellite to orbit a body is equal to the body's rotational speed and is orbiting in the same direction as its rotation. This amounts to the Satellite appearing...
2) ORBIT3D permits the visualization and animation in a 3D window and on a planisphere of the motion of the orbiter. IMPORTANT: mice toolbox (NAIF) is required. 1) Download mice toolbox from https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/toolkit_MATLAB_PC_Linux_GCC_MATLAB7.x_64bit.html 2) Add the...
Watch an animation of stable planetary orbits versus wacky stellar orbits at skypub.com/transitorbits. Kepler planets by the hundreds The models the researchers built allowed them to adjust the tilt of the planetary orbits, the lean in the axes of rotation, and the ability of the terrestrial ...
