Description
In this tutorial, we will go over basic topics about orbit analysis in a practical way, aiming to address some common misconceptions. In particular, we will cover
- How to visualize osculating orbits and ephemeris,
- What a TLE is and is not,
- How to fetch TLE and ephemeris data from open sources,
- How to propagate osculating orbits and TLEs,
- How to design transfer orbits and maneuvers,
- How to compute satellite sensor coverage metrics.
We will use a cloud environment, so no installation is required. Basic understanding of the Python programming language is required to effectively follow the tutorial, and we will use libraries like poliastro, orbit-predictor, and Plotly.
