Tradespace Analysis Toolkit for Constellations (TAT-C)

The Tradespace Analysis Toolkit for Constellations (TAT-C) provides low-level data structures and functions for systems engineering analysis and design of Earth-observing space missions suitable for pre-Phase A concept studies.

Documentation: https://tatc.readthedocs.io

Repository: https://github.com/code-lab-org/tatc

Installation

TAT-C uses the pip build system to manage dependencies. Install the tatc library in "editable" mode:

pip install -e .

Note: the following optional dependencies are available with bracket notation:

• pip install -e ".[dev]": for development (unit testing, coverage, and linting)
• pip install -e ".[docs]": for generating documentation
• pip install -e ".[examples]": for running optional examples
• pip install -e ".[osse]": for running optional observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) examples

Multiple optional dependencies can be installed with a comma-separated list (e.g., pip install -e ".[dev,examples]")

Development Tools
