Abstract

The work is devoted to the creation of a program that visualizes the dependence of the orbit of an artificial Earth satellite in near-Earth space on the values of its elements.T he process of unperturbed motion of the satellite is simulated. For greater clarity of the model, additional constructions are provided such as lines of apses, lines of nodes, equatorial plane, directions to the vernal equinox point. The influence of the nonsphericity of the Earth on the movement of an object is shown. The program is intended for use by students and teachers in full-time and remote modes.
