I am trying to animate a satelite going around earth. I thought I would start with just assuming that the satelite is orbiting in a circle y^2+x^2=r, how would I go about animating this in matlab. A 3d animation would be pretty handy, so basically for now I just want to know how to animate one circle orbiting around another. If 3d isnt possible, maybe 2d? any help or where to being would be very appreciated. I was thinking of making a matrix of all the coordinates of the satelite, but how would i animate this? Thank you.
