Orbital Dynamics

Orbital dynamics is the study of how objects, like satellites and planets, move in space under the influence of gravity. Just as a stone thrown in the air follows a curved path due to Earth's gravity, celestial bodies travel in orbits determined by gravitational forces and their own velocity. These orbits can be circular, elliptical, or even hyperbolic, depending on factors like speed and distance from the body they are orbiting. Understanding orbital dynamics is crucial for space exploration, satellite deployment, and predicting the movements of objects in space.
