pyatmos 1.0

A package to estimate the atmosphere parameters

Atmospheric model for Python. Currently, only nrlmsise00 is feasible, which is valid from altitude z = 0..1000 km.

Install

pip install pyatmos

from pyatmos.msise import download_sw,read_sw

# Download or update the space weather file from www.celestrak.com

# Read the space weather data
