There was some sorcery involved, yes. But that does not mean it wasn’t a fundamentally easy problem. Orbital mechanics are the easiest and cleanest physics around. That’s why classical mechanics was so incredibly useful: it’s a near perfect predictor for movement in the sky. There ain’t no friction no nothing. Just clean positions, gravity, and propulsion.
