Some home-grown Orbital Dynamics and Mission Design tools written in Python. This is predominantly a learning expercise, definitely not supposed to be a competitive production ready library. Just a couple fun demos and projects as I teach myself some OD concepts.
Utilities built with a mix of existing (and awesome) poliastro and astropy libraries, as well as some home grown methods.
You just need a valid python 3.5 environment to get rolling. Either install dependencies yourself in existing environment, or use Anaconda.
Anaconda's Python distribution is recomended for getting started. Easiest way to get started is to install and create a new Python 3.5 environment from the included (not minimal) py-environment.yml file.
http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html
$ conda env create -f py-environment.yml
Otherwise, if you don't have Anaconda, a working Python 3.5+ environment and a few ancilary modules is all you need.
Run example notebook for some samples. Note the use of astropy.units for all calculations.
Endless!
- Tests with pytest
- Build a Propegator
- Low thrust approximation with
poliastro.maneuverobjects -
- Higher fidelity low thrust design class and propegator
- Documentation on ancilary functions
- Fix label positions in interplanetary trajectory plot
- Figure out how to do flybys (lol like it just deserves one bullet)
- More Spice integration
