Evaluate my brand new program satelite motion around earth

AI Thread Summary
A new program simulating satellite motion around Earth has been developed, with a beta release available for testing. Users have reported issues with the program, particularly regarding default settings and functionality, such as the inability to input values in certain fields. The creator utilized Newton's II law for the algorithm but is seeking feedback on discrepancies in orbital paths. Suggestions for improvements include setting default values and adding a refresh button to enhance user experience. The program is available for download, and an updated version has been released to address some of the initial concerns.

do u like my new program?

evaluate my brand new program! :) satelite motion around earth!

:eek:

finally I managed to create a working version of my prog :)

with the help of my friend, and physics teacher (he corrected couple of -/+ :)) I created the very first, user friendly prog...

that's beta release and it still needs a lot of work, but still check this out! :)

===================
+++++++++++++++++++

and yeh, can anyone tell me why those orbits don't match? I mean that slight difference? strange I guess... :eek:

(and yes, please use recommended values :devil: )

for deriving my algorithm, I used Newton's II law...

you can download program from here: http://sandro-dz.com/satmotion.zip

btw. www.sandro-dz.com[/URL] is my homepage :)

Well I downloaded it and had a look and nothing worked...

I put in the values suggested (why not have them as a default setting?), but nothing happened... What is the top Delta value box for? I couldn't type anything in there.

I have no idea why it didn't work... Was I supposed to 'do' something else?
 
delta T is the second field, if u do not enter that number it will not work! use the second field, bellow!
 
i pressed go, the sattelite started moving then pressed go again and it stopped (but I mean really stopped, i had to restart the program to run again)

I think you should do as Adrian said and put those values as default

I didn't vote in the poll, because theare are too few options... :wink:
 

and donwload the newer version...I updated couple of things! http://sandro-dz.com/satmotion2.zip


::Delta T 0.09, velocity 30 and mass 150, this are the best values for maintaining thie real kind orbit!::

:approve: :approve:

and also check this pics, here are the strange orbits! :surprise:

I think I need a refresh button :)

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
