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

       -h --help
