NAME

       pysatellites - simulates the launching of satellites

SYNOPSIS

       pysatellites [-d debuglevel] [--debug=debuglevel] [-f file] [--fichier=file] [-h ]
                    [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       This program can be used to train people to spatial mechanics at an elementary level. You
       are given the power to launch a satellite, from outside the atmosphere, around a handfull
       of predefined planets, or around any special object you may imagine. Input the intial
       velocity vector of the satellite, and you will get the simulated trajectory, as well as
       some informations like the plots of variation of speed. As an extra, you can compute a
       movie, which represents the planet seen from the satellite´s point of view during its
       orbital period.

OPTIONS
