Launchpad: Planetary Simulator

Launchpad: Planetary Simulator shows projectile motion on two worlds side by side. Pick any two of 10 solar system bodies, Mercury through Pluto (including the Moon), set up your launch, and watch both trajectories animate at the same time. BRING YOUR LECTURE TO LIFE Projectile motion is usually taught with static slides: a still diagram, a few equations, then another still diagram. Launchpad turns that lecture into a live demonstration. Change the launch angle while you explain it, ask the class to predict how far a projectile will fly on the Moon compared to Earth, then hit Launch and watch the answer unfold. Students see the equations come to life in real time, and the lesson becomes a conversation instead of a slideshow. WHAT YOU CONTROL - Launch speed, launch angle and launch height - Use the same settings for both worlds, or set each world separately WHAT YOU SEE - Animated…
