Orbit-Propogator

Earth centric orbit propagation tool. Built from scratch in python.

Functionality includes:

• tracking sattelite location over time
• plotting sattelite ground tracks and path through 3D space
• tracking the rotation of the Earth and location of the Sun
• predicting sattelite eclipses
• converting between orbital parameters and state vectors
• converting between ECI, ECEF, and cartesian reference frames
• converting between mean, eccentric, and true anomolies
• calculating other orbit-related quantities
