Information for package python38-sgp4:
--------------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : python38-sgp4
Version : 2.20-1.2
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 635,8 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : python-sgp4-2.20-1.2.src
Summary : Track earth satellite TLE orbits using up-to-date 2010 version of SGP4
Description :
This Python package computes the position and velocity of an earth-orbiting
satellite, given the satellite’s TLE orbital elements from a source like
Celestrak. It implements the most recent version of SGP4, and is regularly run
against the SGP4 test suite to make sure that its satellite position predictions
agree to within 0.1 mm with the predictions of the standard distribution of the
algorithm. This error is far less than the 1–3 km/day by which satellites
themselves deviate from the ideal orbits described in TLE files.
This package compiles the verbatim source code from the official C++ version
of SGP4. You can call the routine directly, or through an array API that loops
over arrays of satellites and arrays of times with machine code instead of Python.
