Has anyone tried creating a ship in orbiter that matches the specs of 99942 Apophis to see what happens?
Is orbiter accurate enough to yield meaningful information over decades, or are there just too many factors that orbiter doesn't take into consideration?
I would assume that some of the best solar system models have been employed for this task, since we still can't predict much about the 2036 encounter, I would not assume a small program like orbiter would do much better. It would be fun however to try some different scenarios to see what might happen.
Id love to hear some opinions on this matter.:hmm:
