poliastro is an open source ([MIT](#License)) pure Python library for interactive
Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics, with a focus on ease of use, speed, and
quick visualization. It provides a simple and intuitive API, and handles
physical quantities with units.

Some features include orbit propagation, solution of the Lambert\'s problem,
conversion between position and velocity vectors and classical orbital elements
and orbit plotting, among others.  It focuses on interplanetary applications,
but can also be used to analyze artificial satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).

## Requirements

poliastro requires the following Python packages:

- [numpy](https://numpy.org/) for basic numerical routines
- [astropy](https://www.astropy.org/) for physical units and time handling
- [numba](https://numba.pydata.org/) for accelerating the code
- [jplephem](https://github.com/brandon-rhodes/python-jplephem) for the planetary ephemerides using SPICE kernels
- [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/) for orbit plotting
- [plotly](https://plotly.com/) for 2D and 3D interactive orbit plotting
- [scipy](https://scipy.org/) for root finding and numerical propagation

poliastro is supported on Linux, macOS and Windows on Python 3.8 to 3.11.

## Problems and suggestions

If for any reason you get an unexpected error message or an incorrect result,
or you want to let me know about your use case, please open a new
issue in the [issue tracker].

I'm a begginer in Python, so I'll try my best, but that's what github is for: collaboration and improvement :)

## Frequently asked questions

* **What's up with the name?**

  poliastro comes from Polimi, which is the shortened name of the Politecnico di
  Milano, see the [acknowledgement from the original author]. *Grazie mille!*

* **What's the future of the project?**

  The **original** poliastro repository has been archived. This is just a fork with some minor modifications to make my IOD project work. See #link here
