Abstract
Low thrust trajectories allow for very complicated, programmable thrust profiles to shape the orbit. Also it is often desirable or necessary to only apply thrust at a certain point in a trajectory such as at periapsis. The Trajectory Animator allows the user to program complicated thrust profiles based on the position in the orbit (specified by true anomaly or mean anomaly), and then see how the orbit develops over time. Trajectory Animator is a Java applet that can be run from any windows browser that supports Java. The HTML code for the applet will prompt a user to automatically download the Java plug-in if it is not already installed on the user’s machine.
