[Visualpython-users] modeling asteroid orbits

[Martin M. <mm...@mt...>]

Hi Folks,

Has anyone done any work on computing asteroid orbits from observational
data either using either Laplace or Guassian techniques in vpython?   =
This
is strictly for an educational setting.  We currently use either Excel =
or
IDL, but both have their disadvantages.  (No visualization or steep =
learning
curve.) =20

Thanks!
