I'm really interested in this project and space in general since I grew playing Orbiter as a teenager and KSP more recently.

Experience

This year I had a subject about physics simulations with Python, we used Python 3.5 in an Anaconda environment, although we didn't use Jupyter in class, I used it to learn how to squeeze everything that a scientific python environment could offer. As a way to learn Python I developed a simple bot for Telegram CSGO Team Bot.

Project

I will develop the idea of Interactive Porkchop Plots which is a fundamental tool when you want to plan a space trip.

Also I will develop Interactive Orbit Visualization in 3D

I will start with the Porkchop Plots and then when it's done and fully functional start with the 3D visualization.

Skills

• Mathematical and physics (with a bit knowledge in General Relativity) applied in the field of simulations.
• C++, Python and Arduino.

Schedule

I will be available from 15th June because of final exams at the university so that leaves with 11 weeks (from 15th June to 31 August).

• Week 1: Learn about the maths and physics of Porkchop Plots
• Week 2: Develop the code for a static representation.
• Week 3: Develop the code for a interactive representation.
• Week 4: Search for ways to optimize the code.
• Week 5: Week for expected errors that may occur. (If everything works I will start with the next project this week.)
• Week 6-7: Study of the possibilities of 3D representations for Python. I use a lot of time in this because a deep study of the options will reduce time and errors of the implementation.
• Week 8-10: Develop the 3D interactive visualization to fully work with the poliastro package.
• Week 11: Week for expected errors and optimization of the last part of the code.
