Kozmoworks

Figure_1 Trajectory lines for two satellites maneuvering around Earth - scales in meters

Kozmoworks is an astrodynamics and space mission simulator. This version features an 8th order symplectic orbit propagator and currently supports n-body problems with:

  • impulsive orbital maneuvers
  • finite burn orbital maneuvers of constant acceleration type
  • atmospheric drag effects
  • radiation pressure
  • spherical harmonics gravity field models

Some lower priority features are yet to be implemented:

  • Relativistic effects
  • Complex propulsion and attitude simulations (incl. gravity gradient torque and the like)
  • Spacecraft power and systems management
  • Additional physics integrator/propagator options
  • Built-in 3D visualizations
  • Graphical scenario editor

Mission scenarios are defined in .json files - see scenarios/test.json for an example.

Kozmoworks is also the successor to OrbitSim3D, a space mission simulator written entirely in Python, using pyOpenGL - check it out if you like!
