Learning and forecasting Satellite orbit from data

Data and helper script for the mini Hackathon to learn symbolic models from satellite orbits.

Prerequiste

Make sure you have SciPy and NumPy and Matplotlib installed.

!pip install scipy numpy matplotlib pandas

Getting Started

Go to GettingStarted.ipynb and follow through the file!

The slides OrbitIntro.pptx contain a lot of domain knowledge / prior knowledge of the problem that will really help you tackle the problem. Incorporating prior knowledge is a crucial step towards success!

When you have a model for the perturbation forces $F_R$ $F_S$ $F_W$ (as functions of the elements)

Go to EquinoctialPropagation.ipynb / KeplerianPropagation.ipynb to see how to use the utility functions to propagate the orbit.

Solution

The answer to this learning problem can be found in the solution branch of this repo. Try not to look at the answer and have a go yourself first!
