Trajectory propagator #3

Closed translunar closed 4 years ago

translunar commented 4 years ago

Trajectories modeled by a patched conic or other strategy need to be propagated in an n-body system to be converted into ephemeris information.

  1. Research types of propagators
  2. Select or implement a propagator
  3. Figure out how to step propagator to optimize for high-fidelity SPICE Hermite polynomials (and optionally also Chebyshev)
  4. Automate production of SPK files (SPICE position/velocity kernels)
