Hi, I’m working on an orbital/RPO simulation in Isaac Sim 5.1. The scene uses a full-scale Earth, with two spacecraft at a LEO radius of approximately 6,778,000 m and velocities around 7.7 km/s. The orbital propagation is performed externally in ROS 2 using double precision. Isaac receives the res…
