poliastro: astrodynamics in Python

poliastro is an open source (MIT) 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).

lamberthub: a set of Lamebert’s problem solvers

The lamberthub library is a Python package which provides its users with different algorithms for solving the Lambert’s problem.

Since the formulation of the problem, many different solutions have been devised, being the latest ones in the form of computer routines. By collecting and implementing all of them under a common programming language, it is possible to carry out performance comparisons between those. Furthermore, lamberthub provides a framework for new authors to check the robustness and accuracy of their routines.
