A QL SuperBASIC program simulating orbital mechanics around a central planetary body. The orbiter starts above the planet and can be given directional thrust using the joystick, allowing demonstration of circular and elliptical orbits. Converted from a C-128 version written by Doug Fries. Author notes the QL runs the program faster than the C-128.
