First of all, I am new in using Plotly (and programming in general), so sorry if you tell a lack of experience in anyhow.
I am developing a orbit simulator of a satellite that is going to have a camera mounted. I have to simulate what the camera is going to view in space. Up to now I have achieved to simulate the orbit, and the nearest objects that are placed in the nearest orbits.
I have decided to use Plotly, since it is the library that is been used for plotting orbits by the library I use for the propagation of orbits. I know that there are better libraries for this porpuse, like Cesium. For some reason, I can’t use Cesium, since I would have to pay license because this is for a funded educational project and my supervisors told me to use fully open source code.
The next milestone is getting the view of the camera. I kind of know how to place the camera in the satellite position in orbit. I have developed a little code, that kind of gave me an idea.
But the problem is that I don’t know how to simulate the view angle of the camera or the focal length. Does anyone have an idea?
