CSE 2102: Software Engineering

Fall 2015


The JAT (Java Astrodynamics Toolkit) simulate different space problems such as earth-moon orbits,
trajectories and velocities of objects and the Two Body Problem.

Our project explored the Three Body Problem, and our initial goal was to plot the orbits of three planets.
We created a new ThreeBodyAPL.java class to work with the integrators for the orbit and we modified the
TheeBodyExample.java class to work with the derivatives and integrators. Through doing this project, we were
able to edit the classes to be able to graph the positions of mass.

Although this was no exactly what we wanted our modification to be, this is a huge step towards having a functional
Three Body Problem. In addition to that, those who wish to edit this in the future will have their basis for the
Three Body Problem. The issue that we hit with our modification was that we could not implement the integrators to
compute what we needed to calculate the orbits of the planets.
