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).

Requirements

poliastro requires the following Python packages:

  • NumPy, for basic numerical routines
  • Astropy, for physical units and time handling
  • numba, for accelerating the code
  • jplephem, for the planetary ephemerides using SPICE kernels
  • matplotlib, for orbit plotting
  • plotly, for 2D and 3D interactive orbit plotting
  • SciPy, for root finding and numerical propagation

poliastro is supported on Linux, macOS and Windows on Python 3.8 to 3.10.
