Orbital Mechanics - STK Projects

Overview

Here are some samples of work I have done with STK. I have worked on projects that involved creating the trajectory of a Galileo type probe that included Earth and Venus swing-bys on the way out to Jupiter. Some of these images are from tutorials from the latest version I used to stay up to date. The involve predicting when a spacecraft will be in range of a ground station.
