To plot a satellite orbit in MATLAB, you can use the following code snippet to create a simple simulation of the orbit. You can adjust the parameters such as the gravitational constant, satellite mass, initial position, and velocity to simulate different scenarios.
main.m675 chars26 lines
This code uses numerical integration with the ode45
function to solve the differential equations of motion for the satellite in orbit around the Earth. The f
function defines the differential equations based on the gravitational force. The orbit is then plotted in a 2D plot.
You can run this code in MATLAB to visualize the satellite orbit. Feel free to customize the parameters and add more features to enhance the simulation.
