Description

# Feature
## Desired behavior

With #99 regular satellites / debris each get individual mass, radius, activityState. Constellation objects are still parsed in the old way via two csv one for positions, one for velocities.

## What needs to be done
### Option 1
Switch all constellation input over to new format.
**Pro:** We can use one input function for everything
**Con:** Might be a lot of work? But should be scriptable...

### Option 2
Extend the old format and somehow add the information in another place.
**Pro:** Probably less invasive.
**Con:** This can get ugly since we have to support multiple types of input.

## How it can be tested
Compare to old simulations

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Compare the current two-CSV constellation input with the format introduced for regular satellites and debris in #99, then evaluate the two proposed input approaches. Done means constellation objects provide individual mass, radius, and activityState while old simulations remain comparable.
