Description
Orbit Architect allows you to interactively design and explore satellite orbital geometry through the multi-touch interface of the iPad. You can manipulate a satellite orbit using pinch and rotate multi-touch gestures, see the effects on the orbit and its ground track in real-time, and animate the results. As you change the orbit, dynamic diagrams will illuminate the meaning of each orbital parameter. Finally, the results can then be emailed to yourself or to a friend.

Ratings and Reviews
A Great app!
I love alll the different features you can do to change the orbit and it has all of the cool mathematical terms for you to learn about.
The things I would really add to it would be: (In no specific order):
A money earning option.
A build you satellite option.
Thanks!
Loved It
Smart little App if you know what you are doing with it. I've found quite useful as a simulation tool.
Things I would add to it:
1 - ability to key-in parameters to study real orbits.
2 - multiple satellites to visualise how orbital constellations work together.
If there were two satellites - could visualise the likes of Soyuz or Dragon heading for the ISS.
=====================
Second review (2014 April) after using the App for some time..... It's ideal for standing in front of a class/group when explaining how orbits work.
Movies can be created using software that grabs the iPad screen and they can, in turn, be embedded in PowerPoint.
All in all, a useful tool that retains my original 5* rating.
Bad
A bad app, no real point, and not informative.
