Roll your own

Google "ephemeris source code" and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Most of the programs are rubbish that won't compile but a few are good fun to play with.

For extra credit, write your own low thrust propulsion code (nuclear ion or solar sail) and use one of the better epehemeris codes as a foundation. You can explore the Solar System in your computer.
