1. A method for performing an orbit simulation, comprising:
(a) obtaining, at a client machine, a user-selected configuration parameter for the orbit simulation;
(b) sending, from the client machine to a remote system, via a network connection, a first set of configuration parameters for the orbit simulation, wherein the first set of configuration parameters comprise the user-selected configuration parameter;
(c) determining, at the client machine, an estimated orbit based on the user-selected configuration parameter;
(d) presenting, at a display, a rendering of the estimated orbit;
(e) receiving, at the client device from the remote system, via the network connection, a stream of orbital data comprising points along an orbit, wherein the points along the orbit are determined by the remote system based on the first set of configuration parameters; and
(f) presenting, at the display, a dynamic rendering of the orbit simulation, wherein the orbit simulation is based on the stream of orbital data.
