astro.propagation#

A set of propagators that can be used to propagate a Orbit. See Propagator for the base class template.

Propagator

Base class for all orbit propagators.

KeplerPropagator

Propagates orbits using an f and g functions as well as Kepler's equation.

UniversalVariablePropagator

Propagates orbits using an f and g functions as well as a universal variable formulation of Kepler's equation.

CowellPropagator

Simplest non-Keplerian propagate which numerically integrates the equations of motion of a satellite using a 4th-order Runge-Kutta method.

EnckePropagator

Non-Keplerian propagator which uses a modified set of equations of motion where the position is given by.
