Sammendrag	Lambert's problem is a classical astrodynamics boundary-value problem that determines an orbit connecting two points in space given a transfer time. Formulated by Johann Heinrich Lambert in the 18th century, it is fundamental to trajectory design for interplanetary missions and spacecraft maneuvers. The solution provides the orbital elements and velocities needed to transition between two positions.	N-body simulation is a computational method for modeling the dynamics of a system of particles under mutual gravitational forces. Originating from Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, it solves the fundamental equations of celestial mechanics. This technique is essential for understanding planetary orbits, star cluster evolution, and cosmological structure formation.
