Hello,
I am working on a project that deals with solar sails and I have all the basic force and acceleration paramerters on the solar sail by the sun. I now need to do a simple orbit plot showing what this solar sails orbit would look like going around the sun. I have looked for sample code online that I could potentially use for this situation but I have not been able to find any that work with what I would like to do. If you could provide a sample code that can plot a satellite orbiting the sun at 1 AU, that would be extremly helpful!
Additionally, because my sail has an acceleration due to the sun, I wanted the velcoity to be a function of the time and the acceleration (which is a function of the angle between the sail and incoming light). Is it possible to plot a 2 body problem with an accelerating satellite? Because I have a theoretical idealized maximum acceleration, it would be simple to reduce it as a function of the angle of incoming light.
Thank you for your help!
