orbital mechanics
Orbital mechanics is the scientific study of the movement and behavior of objects in space, including satellites, planets, and other celestial bodies, under the influence of gravity and other forces. It involves the application of principles from physics and mathematics to predict and explain the motion and interactions of orbiting bodies.
