- Added orbital_mechanics module with orbital_elements_to_cartesian()
- Updated initialize_orbital_objects() to use orbital mechanics
- Added validate_initial_positions() for post-initialization checking
- Fixed test files to use global_position/global_velocity
- Updated config loader to support spacecraft altitude parameter
- Fixed orbital_mechanics.cpp velocity calculation bug (removed duplicate scaling)
- Updated Makefile to include orbital_mechanics.o in test build
- Renamed simulation.h OrbitalMetrics to OrbitalAnalysis to avoid conflict
- Added docs/parabolic_union_implementation.md for parabolic orbit support plan
Note: Test configs still need manual fix for orbit table TOML syntax
Merge spacecraft management into simulation module:
- Move Spacecraft struct from maneuver.h to spacecraft.h
- Add spacecraft array to SimulationState (spacecraft, craft_count, max_craft)
- Remove separate SpacecraftState struct and related functions
- Update create_simulation() to require max_craft parameter
- Move spacecraft update logic into update_simulation()
- Make load_spacecraft_config() internal helper, called by load_system_config()
- Update all test files to use new API with 3-parameter create_simulation()
- Handle max_craft=0 case gracefully (no spacecraft allocation)
Test results: 26/27 passing (1 pre-existing SOI test unrelated to changes)
Add basic maneuvering API for spacecraft with impulsive delta-v burns in local frame:
- Add vec3_dot() function to physics module
- Create Spacecraft struct and SpacecraftState for separate spacecraft management
- Implement 6 burn directions: prograde, retrograde, normal, anti-normal, radial in/out
- Add RK4 propagation for spacecraft with update_spacecraft()
- Extend config loader to parse [[spacecraft]] TOML sections
- Add 6 test cases verifying burn physics and propagation stability
- Rename old mission_planning module to _old for future reference
Test results: 26/27 passing (1 pre-existing SOI test unrelated to changes)
