Getting them to orbit the earth is easy.

Now orbiting the moon is the squeak. Best I could do with the moon is ten orbits before it got flung off into the earth.

So far I've managed to destroy earth 1000 times over, get satalites to reverse orbit, s weave between the moon and earth, but I haven't managed to get one to stay in orbit longer than about 20 minutes.

fun though

for 20 mins ive had one doing a close earth orbit:D

LOL

:D:D it is great .. just really wish i had had something to do @ work today

I was reading, and it seems the only truly stable moon orbits are polar orbits which won't work in this 2D sim.

I managed to get three different stable orbits that have been orbiting earth for the last 2 hours. They are radically different ones too and in both directions.

I'm looking for a lagrange point

DJ111 · « **Reply #53 on:** July 02, 2003, 08:53:59 PM »

One has been going on for almost 40 mins now got another to do figure 8 for about 3 mins

very addictive......very....

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

i knew i shouldn't have messed w/it

Starting again

pugg666 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 03, 2003, 02:07:35 AM »

i've had one going now for 2 hours in a clockwise oval orbit and also another one that does a figure 8 around the moon about every 4 orbits.

DAMN you hortlund!!!

Damn, I can't get the site to come up.

GRRRRRRRR

Furball · « **Reply #56 on:** July 03, 2003, 09:16:24 AM »

managed to do the figure of 8, been trying to get one to orbit the moon, only managed one that went 4 times round the moon, others do 2 orbits round it then get sucked into it as it goes away

haha just had one that went round the moon 3 times then got sucked to earth and entered constant orbit round it!

Have one in stable Earth orbit, now going on 4 hours.
Had one do the figure 8 thing twice then splash

By the way no life now on earth, as no area not impacted by satellites many times over.

Anyone get any stable long distance orbits (out of black area)?

You are ready to be an Apollo pilot.

This is evil!!!! I've got a couple that have been going for about 4 hours now. I don't want to close the window! I feel some sort of strange attachment to my little satellites. I want the buggers to live as long as possible.
