Functions

altaz(orbit, time, observer[, propagator, ...])	Calculate observed altitude and azimuth of orbiting objects as viewed at specified times and locations.
dircos(orbit, time[, obsPos, obsVel, ...])	Calculate observed direction-cosines of orbiting objects as viewed at specified times and positions.
earthShadowCoords(r, time)	Determine components of position r parallel and perpendicular to sun unit vector.
find_passes(orbit, observers, tStart, tSpan, dt)	Find satellite overhead passes for a collection of observers.
groundTrack(orbit, time[, propagator, format])	Calculate satellite ground track on the outer product of all supplied times and state vectors or orbits.
quickAltAz(orbit, time, observer[, ...])	Quickly estimate observed altitude and azimuth of orbiting objects as viewed at specified times and locations.
radec(orbit, time[, obsPos, obsVel, ...])	Calculate observed right ascension, declination, and slant range of orbiting objects as viewed at specified times and positions.
radecRate(orbit, time[, obsPos, obsVel, ...])	Calculate ra/dec rate and slant range rate of orbit at specified times and observer positions and velocities.
radecRateObsToRV(ra, dec, slantRange[, ...])	Convert object angles and observer position to 3D observer position
refine_pass(orbit, observer, time[, ...])	Refine a satellite overhead pass.
rv(orbit, time[, propagator])	Calculate positions and velocities on the outer product of all supplied orbits and times.
