get_similar_orbits

ssapy.simple.get_similar_orbits(r0, v0, rad=100000.0, num_orbits=4, duration=(90, 'days'), freq=(1, 'hour'), start_date='2025-1-1', mass=250)

Generate similar orbits by varying the initial position.

Parameters:

r0array_like

Initial position vector of shape (3,).

v0array_like

Initial velocity vector of shape (3,).

radfloat

Radius of the circle around the initial position to generate similar orbits.

num_orbitsint

Number of similar orbits to generate.

durationtuple

Duration of the orbit simulation.

freqtuple

Frequency of output data.

start_datestr

Start date for the simulation.

massfloat

Mass of the satellite.

Returns:

trajectoriesndarray

Stacked array of shape (3, n_times, num_orbits) containing the trajectories.
