brahe
A Python satellite guidance, navigation, and control library.
Current high-fidelity satellite GNC modeling software generally runs into the following pitfalls:
- It is commercially licensed and closed-source code, making it difficult, if not impossible, to be used by hobbyists and academic researchers.
- Large open-source projects with a steep learning curve making correct use for small projects difficult
- Out-dated API leading making it hard to incorporate into modern projects.
These challenges make it an unfortunately common occurance that guidance, navigation, and control engineers will frequently reimplement common astrodynamics libraries for each new project or analysis.
With these deficienties in mind, brahe aims to provide a open-source, MIT-licensed, high fidelity astrodynamics toolbox to help make it easy to perform high-quality simulation and analysis of satellite attitude and orbit dynamics.
This is the sister repository of SatelliteDynamics.jl, a Julia language implementation of the same functionality. In general, the functionality supported by each repository is interchangeable. The main differences between the repositories come down to the underlying repositories. The Julia implementation tends to be more performant, while the Python implementation can take advantage of the larger package ecosystem.
