Installed NASA/nos3

I discovered that Vagrant 2.2.7 may have had a bug that caused vagrant plugins not to install.

This prevented me from running the nos3 virtual machine.

When I used Vagrant 2.2.5 and VirtualBox 6.0.18 it worked.

Alternative Simulation Tools

We can't compile and deploy GMAT, currently; so, I looked for alternative open source simulation tools. I found the following for smallsats:

The nos3 simulation tool has a fully automated build process. The opensatkit has a better GUI.

Learning Cesium Application Development

I need to understand how to build Cesium Applications.

I found their sample code section in their github repository (https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/tree/master/Apps/Sandcastle)

I plan to currently hardcode a hand made czml for an orbit around the equator.

I put the scaffolding for this in /application/cessium-poc in this repo.

It is not complete, yet.
