------------------------------------
This project is a GUI for a simple orbit simulator that allows the user to view the trajectory of a satellite orbit around earth and its ground track on earth, this simulator can be useful for a quick view and visualization of the final state vector of the satellite and how it will propagate.
----------------------------------
Input methods:
the user can input a satellite initial conditions throughout these options:
1- Orbital element of the satellite
2- Initial state vector
3- TLE file extensions

examples of the three methods can be viewed here:

-----------------------------------
Solver:
The coding of the GUI includes solving the equations to propagate the trajectory by either:
1- Kepler equations (analytical solution)
2- Runge-Kutta integration (Numerical solution)
-----------------------------------
hope this could be useful and for any inquiries please comment, :)
