contents Brahe is a modern satellite dynamics library for research and engineering applications. The representation and prediction of satellite motion is the fundamental problem of astrodynamics. Current research and applications in space situational awareness, satellite task planning, and space mission operations require accurate and efficient numerical tools to perform coordinate transformations, model perturbations, and propagate orbits. While the core algorithms for predicting and modeling satellite motion have been known for decades, there is a lack of modern, open-source software that implements these algorithms in a way that is accessible to researchers and engineers. brahe is designed to address these challenges by providing a modern, open-source astrodynamics library that is quick-to-deploy, composable, extensible, and easy-to-learn.
