When to Use Escape Velocity 3D Explorer - Best Sessions and Limits
Open the Escape Velocity 3D Explorer when you need sub-orbital vs circular vs escape vs hyperbolic paths with NASA/SSD figures (Moon 2.38, Earth 11.2, Jupiter 59.5 km/s) - without an n-body propagator or rocket staging model.
A five-minute classroom demo
A five-minute classroom demo starts when you open Escape Velocity 3D Explorer on Earth, press Play paths, then Pause so students see circular speed as v_esc / sqrt(2) beside the 11.2 km/s escape curve.
Body comparison in Escape Velocity 3D Explorer
Body-comparison literacy in Escape Velocity 3D Explorer stays readable when you keep the facts panel open and switch Moon 2.38 km/s then Jupiter 59.5 km/s while the four trajectory classes stay on screen.
Sessions Escape Velocity 3D Explorer does not fit
Sessions Escape Velocity 3D Explorer does not fit are STK/GMAT ephemerides, atmospheric drag, staged rockets, or n-body gravity. Use Gravity Well 3D Explorer or Kepler Orbits 3D Explorer instead. Walk the controls in the Escape Velocity 3D Explorer step-by-step guide.
