In summary, there are various resources available for learning about orbital mechanics and perturbations, including textbooks, online courses, and video tutorials. Some recommended textbooks include "Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students" by Howard D. Curtis and "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics" by Roger R. Bate et al. Online courses, such as those offered by Coursera and edX, provide interactive and comprehensive lessons on orbital mechanics and perturbations. Additionally, YouTube channels like "Crash Course Astronomy" and "Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell" offer engaging and informative videos on these topics. Other helpful resources include NASA's website and online forums where experts and enthusiasts discuss and answer questions about orbital mechanics and perturb

Hi maltmana here, I'm just a good old boy from the Central Valley in California. I've never been very good with physics or math but I really enjoy orbits and space and I want to learn more about them. I'm working on a orbital simulation and I keep running into all sorts of difficulties so I figured a physics forum would be a great place to get help!

Sorry that I will be more of a leecher of information and not much of a seeder! But anyways I hope we can all have a good time and you guys don't get too frustrated at me when trying to explain the laws of nature.

Well take care and have a good day ya'll!
