LagrangeCalculator

What are Lagrange Points?

Lagrange points are positions in space where objects sent there tend to stay put. At Lagrange points, the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them. These points in space can be used by spacecraft to reduce fuel consumption needed to remain in position. -https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/754/what-is-a-lagrange-point/

Goals

  • Calculate gravitational pull between to masses
  • Display forces
    • 3D Object
    • Image, Colour encoded

Requirements

File Description

  • main.py - Contains the lagrange calculator. (Thus its called main)
  • pythagoras.py - Script used for trying out calculus and imaging. Shows distance to the middle of the image encoded in colour.
