Resources

To Do

  • Physical modeling:
    • Add co-orbitals
    • Model spacecraft (e.g. Parker, Juno, Cassini, Voyager)
      • Choose mission from list to simulate
    • Incorporate apsidal and nodal precession (changing ω and Ω over time)
    • Use ephemeris data for modeling
  • Scene rendering:
    • Examine render settings, see if visuals can be improved (e.g. overlap between planet and ellipse)
    • Fix alignment between planet and ellipse
    • Render 3D models for asteroids
    • Improve offscreen indicator rendering for moons when the main planet is not visible
  • General:
    • Improve controls for adding asteroids/comets from SBDB
    • Add fact sheet for spacecraft
      • Set spacecraft ID as URL part for deep linking
    • Add fact sheet for organization, listing spacecraft
    • Add differentiated default colors for TNOs
    • Reduce jumpiness of token-by-token rendering for many items (orbital regime fact sheet, spacecraft timelines)
