Simulates orbits of objects about a central body. Allows for simulation of any satellite on the Celestrak database. This initial version only supports satellites around Earth, but the plan is to expand its functionality to solar system and other custom systems as well.
The satellites are static, meaning that no orbital manuevers can be executed and their orbits are set to the specifications gathered from celestrak. Hopefully, in the future, orbital manuevers will be able to be executed.
OrbitSim only supports Windows.
This project was created to simulate orbits of objects about a central body. It is built off of Walnut.
- Python 3.11 or higher (for ETL scripts)
- C++ 17 or higher
- CMake
- Vulkan SDK
Follow these steps to get the project up and running on your local machine.
- Clone the repository and enter the directory
git clone https://github.com/daniel360kim/OrbitSim.git --recursive cd OrbitSim/Simulator - Build Go to Scripts and run setup.bat
This command will invoke the build system to compile the source files and generate the executable.
- If you download the release binaries, the ImGui windows will be set
- If you build yourself, the ImGui windows will have to be set after running
