Orekit dependency
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

`Orekit <https://www.orekit.org/>`_ is an optional dependency, including the ``Orekit`` Python wrapper that is hard to find. Clone the python wrappper from here:

    `https://gitlab.orekit.org/orekit-labs/python-wrapper <https://gitlab.orekit.org/orekit-labs/python-wrapper>`_

Alternatively, the ``Orekit`` python wrapper can be installed from `Anaconda <https://www.anaconda.com/>`_.
