📡 Gravity-Gradient Satellite Libration Lab (2D)
2D gravity-gradient lab: a boom satellite on a Kepler orbit librates about the local vertical. Change boom length, tip mass, damping, eccentricity and disturbance torque, with phase portrait, potential well and six numerical checks including the elliptic-integral period.
