W°(W-Grad) is a domain-specific language designed to handle the complexities of orbital mechanics and space computations. Whether you're working on interplanetary missions, orbital simulations, or just learning about space, W° offers a straightforward, intuitive syntax for space enthusiasts and professionals alike.
- Orbital Mechanics Functions: Built-in functions for computing orbital transfers, delta-v calculations, gravity assists, and more.
- Intuitive Syntax: A user-friendly language designed for easy adoption by those interested in space science.
- High-Performance: Optimized calculations to handle the physics of spaceflight, orbital mechanics, and celestial body simulations efficiently.
- Real-Time Feedback: Integrated with visual elements for tracking calculations and simulations in real-time.
- Mission Planning: Calculate transfers, orbits, and fuel requirements for space missions.
- Delta-V Calculations: Perform critical delta-v calculations for orbital adjustments, launches, and interplanetary transfers.
- Orbital Simulations: Simulate satellite orbits, planetary motion, and space body interactions.
- Educational Tools: Learn and teach orbital mechanics with practical coding examples.
Here’s an example of how you can use W° to calculate a simple Hohmann transfer between Earth and Mars:
// Calculate Hohmann transfer from Earth to Mars
planet_1 = Earth;
planet_2 = Mars;
transfer = calculate_transfer(planet_1, planet_2, fuel=5000);
echo("Delta-V for Hohmann transfer:", transfer.delta_v);
echo("Transfer time:", transfer.time);
// Simulate orbital insertion around Earth
insert_orbit(planet_1, periapsis=300, apoapsis=400);
