    The WebGeocalc tool (WGC) provides a web-based graphical user interface to many of the observation geometry computations available from the "SPICE" system (SPICE=Spacecraft, Planet, Instrument, Camera- matrix, Events; see http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov). It is based on client-server architecture. A user selects a computation and computation parameters using GUI widgets in a standard Web browser. The...

    The Sentinel-2 mission is a component of the Copernicus program. It consists of two spacecrafts each carrying a high resolution multispectral imager (13 bands) devoted to environmental, security, and agricultural applications. One of the key feature of Sentinel-2 is the huge amount of imagery data that will be produced, as each spacecraft produces 1.7TB of raw data daily. All data are...

    Oral presentation at the conference
    Due to the computationally intensive nature of astrodynamics tasks, astrodynamicists have relied on compiled programming languages such as Fortran for the development of astrodynamics software. Interpreted languages such as Python on the other hand offer higher flexibility and development speed thereby increasing the productivity of the programmer. While interpreted languages are generally...

  4. 5. poliastro: : An Astrodynamics library written in Python with Fortran performance
    Mr Juan Luis Cano (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid)

    11: Open Source Tools
    Oral presentation at the conference
    Python is a fast-growing language both for astronomic applications[[1]] and for educational purposes[[2]], but it is often critizised for its suboptimal performance and lack of type enforcement. In this paper we present **poliastro**, a pure Python library for Astrodynamics that overcomes these obstacles and serves as a proof of concept of Python strengths and its suitability to model complex...
