ssapy.orbit

Module to handle Earth satellite state vector manipulation and propagation.

Notes

Although much of the Orbit class here is agnostic with respect to the coordinate reference frame, we strongly recommend that positions and velocities be specified in the GCRF frame. Some classes in this module do insist on this frame, (e.g., EarthObserver). We will try to indicate where the GCRF frame is required, but make no guarantees that we don’t miss any such instances.

Classes

EarthObserver(lon, lat[, elevation, fast])	An earth-bound observer.
Orbit(r, v, t[, mu, propkw])	Orbital state of one or more objects.
OrbitalObserver(orbit[, propagator])	An observer in orbit.
