Space Mission Design (smd)

Space Mission Design allows one to perform an initial space mission design, around a given celestial body or between celestial bodies.

This package was written to support my thesis and my astrodynamics courses (ASEN 6008 Space Mission Design / Interplanetary Mission Design) at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Features

Note: this list may not be up to date with the latest developments.

Propagation of an orbit around a celestial body
Direct closed-loop optimization of continuous thrust via Naasz and Ruggiero control laws.
VSOP87 support via the amazing https://github.com/soniakeys/meeus
Patched conics for interplanetary missions
Stream orbital elements as CSV for live visualization of how they change
Export as a set of NASA Cosmographia files (cf. http://cosmoguide.org/) for really cool visualization of the overall mission
