Earth Models

Module: brahe.earth_models

Earth models provide atmospheric density and other environmental data required for accurate orbit propagation and satellite operations.

Atmospheric Density Models

Atmospheric density models compute the density of the Earth's atmosphere at a given location and time, which is essential for drag calculations in low Earth orbit.

Harris-Priester

Simple empirical atmospheric density model that accounts for altitude and diurnal variations.

NRLMSISE-00

Empirical atmospheric model providing temperature and density profiles using space weather data.
