I haven't spent much time on it. It would be interesting to see the NASA orbital mechanics software and see how it differs from theory -- is it adjusted with fudge factors from previous data or from theory differing from Newton or Einstein? It must be very good as they can bring a probe within a hundred miles or so of a Jovian satellite!
I would think the software would be freely available since I paid for it :-) . -----Original Message----- From: Jones Beene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 9:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Orbital dynamics Hoyt - I know this demands more attention ... but can you give us your take on it, since you have probably spent adequate time with it ?
