Astro Composer is a web-based planetary system design tool. Unlike a physics simulator, orbits are defined parametrically and are immune to perturbations. This ensures stability and consistency, however, orbits may not be stable on a real environment.
- Web-based, no download required!
- 3D Keplerian orbits with support for all orbital elements and nested bodies (moons and satellites)
- Rotate, zoom, and focus on objects.
- Orbits are parametric and unchanging.
- Body attributes such as name, color, size, axial tilt, and rotation period.
- Support for custom time and distance units.
- Save/Load systems for future use.
