ORSA Description

ORSA - Interactive tool for scientific grade Celestial Mechanics computations ORSA is an interactive tool for scientific grade Celestial Mechanics computations.Asteroids, artificial satellites, comets, Solar and extra-Solar planetary systems can be accurately reproduced, simulated, and analyzed.The main goals of the ORSA project are:· create a common infrastructure among the existing celestial mechanics programs and standards· use an object oriented programming language (C++), CVS and auto-configuration tools to achieve a good design, rapid development and maintainability· implementation of state of the art orbit integration algorithms, with concerns on accuracy, performance and interaction options· develop command-line and graphical applications with 3D capabilities (OpenGL)· support for High Throughput Computing systems (i.e. Condor) and GRID· keep the project under the GPLHere are some key features of "ORSA":· accurate numerical algorithms· use of JPL ephemeris files for accurate planets positions· Qt-based graphical user interface· advanced 2D plotting tool and 3D OpenGL viewer· import asteroids and comets from all the known databases (MPC, JPL, Lowell, AstDyS, and NEODyS)· integrated download tool to update databases· stand alone numerical library liborsa· save and restore session from a single file
