-====== Orbital Calculator 2.0.5 Released ====== 
-{{ :blog:articles:info:soyuz_tma-7_spacecraft2edit2.jpg?direct&400|Soyuz spacecraft}} 
-New abilities include calculating Schwartzschild and Photon Sphere radii, and Synodic Periods of two orbiting objects based on either their distances from the host mass or their periods. 
-=== === 
-The photon sphere result assumes a non-rotating (Schwartzschild) black-hole. There is additional information about photon spheres around rotating black holes in the help file, although you should research what these are to get a more thorough understanding. 
- 
-Synodic periods are important when using low-energy transfers from one orbit to another (which might equate to a transfer from one planet to another), where the timing of the arrival of both the target object and the spacecraft is important. The target object could be another planet, or a specific location in the geostationary orbit, and synodic periods dictate when such transfers can take place. 
- 
-You can read further details on what the software can do [[:blog:articles:software:orbital_calculator| here]] and download it from the [[:blog:aardvaark:downloads|downloads page]].
