Project Scope
The project will simulate a multi-stage rocket, sent from low-Earth-orbit through a sequence of increasingly complex orbits. The final orbit will deal with Chaos Theory, with the rocket orbiting a binary star.
Code Framework
The simulation will be built in Python, using VPython to display a visual representation of the rocket's trajectory. 4th Order Runge-Kutta will eventually be used to solve the various equations necessary, though the simulation current uses 1st Order Runge-Kutta.
