★★★★★
Nice simulation Informative view of satellite orbits and the effect of changing parameters. Would be nice to show apogee and perigee when 'e' is changed. Also might show current altitude during the orbit?
★★★★★
Pretty good Very nice and a big plus is the realism. My only request is for orbital parameters such as mean motion be shown.
★★★★★
