checklist:
id: orbital-mechanics-checklist
name: HardScience Orbital Mechanics Checklist
description: Verify spacecraft trajectories, deltav budgets, and orbital timings are scientifically plausible.
items:
- "[ ] Gravity assists modeled with correct bodies and dates"
- "[ ] Deltav calculations align with propulsion tech limits"
- "[ ] Transfer windows and travel times match real ephemeris"
- "[ ] Orbits obey Keplers laws (elliptical periods, periapsis)"
- "[ ] Communication latency accounted for at given distances"
- "[ ] Plot accounts for orbital plane changes / inclination costs"
