Intro¶
The data submodule provides functionality for handling of various underlying
data sources and types required for high fidelity astrodynamics modeling.
This data includes, but is not limited to time system data, Earth
orientation data, and space weather data.
Package Data¶
To allow RAstro to be easy and quick to use , the package is distributed batteries-included with a number of important data files packaged with the distribution. The presence of these data files allows for users to quickly start building on-top of the library without requiring the user to undertake additional setup steps to find and download additional core external data files.
The data files distributed as part of the package are:
| Data File | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
EGM2008_90.gfc |
Gravity Model | EGM 2008 Gravity Model |
GGM05C.gfc |
