SSAPy: Space Situational Awareness for Python

When executing

>>> import SSAPy

a subset of the full SSAPy package is imported into the python environment. Some packages must be imported explicitly, so as to avoid importing unnecessary and/or heavy dependencies. Below lists the packages available in the ssapy namespace.

ssapy.accel	Classes for modeling accelerations.
ssapy.body	Classes representing celestial bodies.
ssapy.compute	Tools for orbital dynamics, satellite tracking, and celestial mechanics.
ssapy.constants	A collection of physical constants.
ssapy.correlate_tracks	Provides classes and functions for orbital tracking, hypothesis testing, angle wrapping, and fitting satellite observations to orbital models.
ssapy.ellipsoid	Class to handle transformations between ECEF x,y,z coords and geodetic longitude, latitude, and height.
ssapy.gravity	Classes for gravity-related accelerations.
ssapy.io	Collection of functions to read from and write to various file formats.
ssapy.linker	Module for Monte Carlo-based orbit track linking and model selection.
ssapy.orbit_solver	Classes to solve for Keplerian orbital parameters from different initial inputs
ssapy.orbit	Module to handle Earth satellite state vector manipulation and propagation.
ssapy.particles	Classes for sampling orbit model parameters.
ssapy.plotUtils	Utility functions for plotting.
ssapy.propagator	Classes for propagating orbits.
ssapy.rvsampler	This module provides functions and classes for orbital mechanics calculations, optimization techniques, sampling methods, and orbital parameter translations.
ssapy.simple	Functions to simplify certain aspects of SSAPy.
ssapy.utils	This module provides functions for coordinate transformations, vector operations, celestial mechanics, and mathematical utilities.
