Orbital dynamics is the study of the motion of objects in the presence of gravitational forces of other bodies. All bodies provide a gravitational pull on other bodies surrounding it. The force exerted by two bodies on each other is given by

<math>F = Gm_1m_2 \over r^2</math>

where G is the gravitational parameter whose value is 'insert value here', <math>m_1</math> is the mass of the first body, <math>m_2</math> is the mass of the second body, and r is the distance between them.
