Yes, I didn't mean to imply that the software wouldn't be useful. (Or for anyone to attempt to do all the math on their own.) Most people just don't realize you can define a generic coordinate system, and depending on the software, leave the projections/ datums blank (or set a generic/custom one), and still get good use out of many of the tools. (The danger is some tools that should only be used with projections might run error free without having one defined and return a meaningless answer. Although admittedly I haven't kept up with the different capabilities for the last few years. What method/format would even be used to generate points for an astroid? Radar? Lidar? Photogrammetry? From a "where do you start" perspective, knowing that would probably narrow down practical approaches...
