| VPython
is an open source package that includes a programming environment that
works with the major operating systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac OS X).
In a very short time, it is possible to use VPython to develop physics
simulations that enable 3D visualizations. Several examples will
be shown, including a visualization of the "slingshot effect" used to send
spacecraft to the outer planets, and a visualization of the docking process
for a space station.
