- Trajectory sampling: propagate Lambert transfer orbits using universal
variable Kepler propagation, sample 60 points per leg
- Smooth curved trajectory lines on 2D canvas (real orbital arcs, not
straight lines)
- Animated green package dot with radial glow traveling along trajectory
- Route progress slider (0-100%) with play/pause animation toggle
- Auto-animating ~20-second cycle through the full route
- WASM API: sample_route_trajectory() with per-leg NaN separators

- Lambert's problem solver using universal variable method with bisection
(handles elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic transfers + anti-podal cases)
- Transfer matrix: precompute pairwise station transfers over time window
using Lambert solver with configurable launch velocity
- Dijkstra routing on time-expanded graph (station × week nodes, transfer
+ wait edges) to find minimum-time routes
- Route Planner UI: from/to station dropdowns, search window selector
(1-10 years), "Find Optimal Route" button with results card
- Route visualization: orange dashed trajectory lines with arrow heads
and leg numbers on the 2D canvas
- Tested: Mercury L1 → Jupiter L1 computes 6-month direct transfer at
30 km/s — physically reasonable

- Lagrange point computation (L1-L5) for any Sun-planet pair in Rust
- Station generation: auto-place at Lagrange points by priority (inner → outer planets)
- Station panel UI: count slider (5-50), launch velocity slider (5-100 km/s) with info tooltip
- Blue diamond markers on 2D canvas with labels when zoomed in
- Active station list in sidebar (Earth L1, Mars L2, Jupiter L4, etc.)
- WASM API: generate_stations(), get_station_positions(), get_station_names()
- Station positions update every frame (co-rotating with planets at Lagrange points)

- 3D scene: Threlte/Three.js with starfield, orbit lines, planet meshes,
sun glow, OrbitControls (orbit/zoom/pan), point lighting
- 2D velocity tails: gradient lines showing planet velocity direction/magnitude
- New WASM API: get_body_velocities_at_epoch(), get_orbit_points()
- Orbit ellipses computed in Rust, rendered in both 2D and 3D views
- Ecliptic-to-Three.js coordinate mapping (Y-up convention)
- View toggle now switches between working 2D and 3D renderers
