Orbital Mechanics In Vb

[s243a 0]

I thought I would do some orbital mechanics in VB because alot of people have acces to it thorough excel.

Here is one I did to calculate the departure delta v for a hofmann transfer:

Function Hohmann_P(r1, r2, mu)[br]     Hohmann_P = Sqr(mu / r1) * Sqr(2 * r2 / (r1 + r2) - 1)[/br]End Function

Okay that is overly simplistic.

Okay, while I find it interesting and I have not found a good free library of VB code with lots of help to explain how all the code is derived. And even if I do it will be helpful in speeding up what I can do with it but I won?t learn as much as if I programmed it myself. If anyone else is interested in orbital mechanics and visual basic then we could learn for each other. It is more fun that way.
