This is an extensive piece of software that provides simulation activities to support a wide range of basic gravitational physics topics. Ready-made simulations exist for many common topics, such as Kepler's Laws, escape velocity, double stars and Lagrange points. In addition, there is plenty of scope to create other simulations with relative ease.
