OHM Space Calculators V2

[OrbitHangar]

Author: george7378

Includes:

- An orbital properties calculator:
Calculate velocities, eccentricity, semi-major axis and period for any combination of orbit or planet.
- An escape velocity calculator:
Find the surface escape velocity for any planet or moon.
- A geostationary altitude calculator:
How high do you need to orbit around a certain planet to remain geostationary?
- A launch azimuth calculator:
In which directions can you launch to rendezvous with a given spacecraft around any planet or moon?

Wow, cool. Thanks

 

[garyw]

very nice, I'll certainly be adding this to my toolkit.

 

[george7378]

Thanks a lot guys, your comments mean a lot!

 

[PeriapsisPrograde]

Simple, and it works. :thumbup:

 

[george7378]

It's good to know that it does actually work for other people, ant not just me

 

[Capt_hensley]

Nice job, now if I can just get to orbit manually, I'll bet these will be real handy.

 

[Screamer7]

Thanks a lot.
This is a very handy tool.
Copy and paste does not work, when I want to copy the planet info into the calculator.
It forced me to do it manually.

 

[Loru]

Impressive calculator really nice addition to my tools

 

[george7378]

Thanks a lot for the comments Loru and Screamer7. Yeah, the main drawback is the planet info thing - it'll probably be the first thing I change if I make another update. Oh well, it's important to learn the numbers for the planets too

Nice addon..could someone with android knowledge make an application?there is one for Kerbal space program so it would be nice to have one that we can use with Orbiter

 

[george7378]

That would be awesome - but I'm sadly not the one with any android knowledge.

 

[Cras]

Impressive stuff. Nice work!

Hail George!

A lot of research must have been put into this. Regarding the planetary data aside from all the math.... Anyway, Thanks George. Impressive add-on. You really sacrificed a lot of effort into this. And I hope in any way, I can, too:tiphat:

 

[george7378]

Thanks a lot Vast Fury, your comment has made my day I think you'd be surprised at how readily available the research for things like this is - I found most of the data on the Internet, and I've got a nice book which summarises most of the maths (and gave me the inspiration to create the calculators in the first place!). Oh, and I lifted the launch azimuth formulae from the DG-IV manual (thanks Dan!!)

Anyway, I really enjoyed making them, and it's good that nice people such as yourself have found them

Just discovered this little helper. Awesome work, thank you very much! :thumbup:
