A friend of mine has need of software to correctly simulate a body falling
or projected from a great height near the earth, as, for example, the
re-entry of a space satellite. The software must correctly deal with the
height variation of the atmosphere's density, with shape and attitude of
the falling body.
Serious software for ballistics deals with the shape and attitude of the
projectiole, but usually assumes constant atmospheric density during the
trajectory. This is not acceptable.
Does anyone here know of any such commercial software?
