Orbit Lab: Kepler Physics

Orbital Lab teaches orbital mechanics by making you fly it: set a launch speed and angle, and a real two-body Kepler solver draws the exact orbit that results — not a canned animation standing in for physics. Every one of the app's 31 lessons ends on a live 3D workbench. Drag the speed slider and watch the path bulge, open into a wide ellipse, or dive into the star; nudge the launch angle and the shape changes again. The same solver computes eccentricity, periapsis, apoapsis, and orbital period from scratch on every frame — nothing is pre-rendered behind the numbers. A lesson only marks complete when you've actually done what it asked — raised the launch speed past the true escape boundary and recovered an orbit just under it, or hunted down the exact speed that avoids a crash — not for pressing Play. Curriculum, unit by unit: • Unit 1 – Orbits from scratch: what an ellipse, periapsis,…
