ulianovorbit 1.4.0

Library for handling Ulianov Orbit functions

UlianovOrbit

Overview

The UlianovOrbit repository contains two Python libraries designed for modeling and analyzing elliptical orbits using the Ulianov Orbital Model (UOM). This model offers a simplified approach to celestial mechanics by utilizing the Ulianov Ellipse Parameter ((U_e)) and Ulianov Elliptical Trigonometric Functions. The UOM reduces the complexity traditionally associated with orbital models, making it particularly useful for scenarios such as satellite launches, close encounters, or collision avoidance.

Ulianov Oorit Model (UOM) Python Routines Implementation

The Ulianov Orbital Model (UOM) was implemented using Python, providing a library named ulianovorbit.py. This library defines several objects and routines for modeling and analyzing elliptical orbits.

UOM Python Objects

The Python objects in ulianovorbit.py are defined using the class attribute. Two main classes are:

uom_params class: This class defines the UOM parameters such as (R_0), (V_0), (U_e), inclination angle (i), longitude of the ascending node angle (\Omega), ellipse angle (E_{ang}), and the time associated with angle (\alpha = 0) ((t_0)).

class uom_params:
    def __init__(self, R0=1, V0=1, Ue=1, ang_i=0, ang_omega=0, ang_ell=0, time_alpha0=0):
        self.R0 = R0
        self.Ue = Ue
        self.V0 = V0
        self.ang_i = ang_i
        self.ang_omega = ang_omega
        self.ang_ell = ang_ell
        self.time_alpha0 = time_alpha0

orbit_vect class: This class organizes the results obtained by UOM routines, defining vectors to store data: ellipse positions ((e_x), (e_y), (e_z)) and velocities ((v_x), (v_y), (v_z)). For the 2D case, the (z) values are defined as zero. Each point is also associated with a time value, an alpha angle, and a point number (num_point).

class orbit_vect:
    def __init__(self):
        self.e_x = []
        self.e_y = []
        self.e_z = []
        self.v_x = []
        self.v_y = []
        self.v_z = []
