Loading...Introduction to Space Mission Planning Software
Last quarter, our team discovered that selecting the right space mission planning software is crucial for the success of interplanetary missions. We compared AstroPy 4.3, Poliastro 0.16, and Orekit 11.0 to determine which one is best suited for our needs.
The Problem with Interplanetary Trajectory Design
Interplanetary trajectory design is a complex task that requires precise calculations to ensure the spacecraft reaches its destination safely and efficiently. We tried using AstroPy first, but it didn't quite meet our expectations. The documentation was lacking, and we spent too much time debugging.
Evaluating AstroPy 4.3
AstroPy is a popular Python library for astronomy and astrophysics. It provides a robust set of tools for calculating celestial mechanics, but it's not specifically designed for interplanetary trajectory design.
