Python simulation of celestial bodies and satellites.

This repository is made for the project of the course "Cyber Physical Systems" held at the University of Trieste in 2023/2024. The project aim is to simulate a network of satellites, which communicate with each other and with a ground station. The satellites are able tune their orbit in order to avoid escaping or crushing.

• examples/
• • solar_system.py: simulation of the solar system. Just to test that the gravitational forces are implemented correctly.
• • three_body_problem.py: simulation of the three body problem. This example shows that the in general the orbits are unpredictable as the system is chaotic for most initial conditions.
• • mars_satellite.py: simulation of three satellite orbiting Mars. This is the main example of the project. It shows how satellite behave in both communicaton and orbit tuning.
• • satellite_monitor.py: Monitoring and plotting of the results obtained from simulations.
