🪐 Orbital Mechanics 4 - 2D Orbit Plane (Kepler Laws, Energy and Angular Momentum)

2D companion of the orbital-mechanics lab: a top-down orbit plane with a symplectic integrator, the analytic Kepler ellipse, swept-area wedges, live energy and angular-momentum conservation, and a transfer burn that changes the orbit.
