ahh those crazy astrophysics students at my Alma matter (sp?) get the satellite into perfect orbit
click in space to start a satellite, you can try pushing it to get better trajectory.
i also clicked a tone of times at once, pretty cool. gravity game.

can you get the satellite to remain in a fixed orbit?

I got about 6 going around right now without hitting. One is a perfect circular orbit the rest are slingshot kinda.

update...i appear to have one fixed in orbit!! do you know if the satellites have a gravity effect on one another?

I just got as many as I could to circle the moon a few times then sling over to earth. Fun for a bout four minutes. Then I became dispondant. Damn short attention span....

Try and get them to orbit the moon, it's a pain in the ass.

in case anybody wants to know the secret of how to do this properly...you circle the earthy in a clockwise motion (not counterclockwise) and keep on clicking at a speed fast enough so they don't fall into the earth and slower than making them escape into space. i'm so cool that i have like 30 in orbit and they've been tehre for at least half an hour.
now i should really get back to studying for finals

neat, but it got boring =(
control of mouse + understanding of the physics makes it a one trick pony.
first time i've ever used the expression. hm.

understanding physics need not be involved if a person experiments w/ this for a little while. my little sister could do this.

correct, but if you know how the orbits and such work, most of the work is done.

i'm so glad most of you had fun, and that i was able to help those procrastinate when you [didn't] need it.
