Fundamentals of Orbital Mechanics Explained with Kerbal Space Program 

This is such an underrated video, just wow..

Thank you so much for this video I Myself am a aspiring coder and I’m going to use your video for the math to make my game. It’s going to be an indie game, but it might be 🔥

I just started my intro to engineering class this week and my professor had mentioned Astrodynamics. I had never heard of it until then and it really piqued my interest! I’m a big fan of aerospace and am glad to find such an interesting lecture like this. I’m gonna give ksp another try :)

I would say radial burns "swivel" the orbit left or right at the point of the burn

Nice video! A quick correction though, Fc and Fg should both point towards the centre of the planet because they are one and the same. If they are equal and opposite there would be no centripetal acceleration that is required to maintain circular motion. The apparent weightlessness is the result of both the spacecraft and you falling at the same rate and not because of another force counteracting gravity.

Thanks for introducing it intuitively

This is awesome 👍

great vid

are you an aerospace major? mechE major here!

Hey, my name is also Christian
