The objective was to recreate a simulation of Voyager 2's grand-tour of the solar-system using Newtonian mechanics and gravity assist as part of my final undergraduate project. The theory, development and analysis can be viewed in the report, while the Unity project FinalBuild can be loaded in the editor and an executable can be built. This project was built with the contributions of IreliaLeaf, with his focuses outlined in the report.

• Unity Editor Version: 2020.3.27f1
• VR Headset: Oculus Rift + Touch
• PC or Unix system with video card

Along with the individual report, a scientific presentation poster was produced with a group of similar Astrophyics projects utilising the Unity engine.

main.py was a constructed unit velocity vector calculator which was used to implement elliptical orbits of the planets using only 5 position vectors from the NASA-Horizons ephemerides, hence calculating a 5-point conic equation using linear algebra. The development of this tool can be found in the report.

Below is a short trailer of the grand-tour and fly-bys in action.
