Fantastic video! Thanks for posting the link.
My dad built satellite systems in his career and worked closely with the orbital mechanics guys. I was always amazed at the sophisticated math involved and how they precisely knew their launch windows a decade in advance. Talk about hard-stop dates for a project!
Third quarter Calculus is a good starting point.
Vector analysis and (real) differential equations still make my hair hurt.
Glad you enjoyed the film.
