Atmospheric models with Python

Jorge Martínez / Website / Posts / LinkedIn / Publications / Contact / About

I am an aerospace engineer and astronomer interested in astrodynamics, orbital mechanics and scientific computing. In my free time, I contribute to various open-source organizations whose main goal is to enhance the quality of modern science.

Astrodynamics and orbital mechanics

• poliastro interactive Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics in Python.
• lamberthub A collection of Lambert's problem solvers implemented in Python.

Ansys and PyAnsys

• PyMAPDL Pythonic interface to MAPDL.
• PyAEDT AEDT Python Client Package.
• PyFluent Pythonic interface to Ansys Fluent.

Publications

• A critical review on the state-of-the-art of Lambert’s problem

• Lambert's problem algorithms: a critical review

• poliastro: a Python library for interactive astrodynamics

• Interstellar Interceptors. Mission design for rendezvous with objects in hyperbolic orbits.

atmopy's Issues

Gregg 1921

Explanation on the model 🌍

This is one of the first ever released atmospheric models and it differentiates between winter and summer conditions, thought results to not diverge so much from one season to another.

General data ℹ️

Name: gregg21
Author: Willis Ray Gregg
Year: 1921
Paper: "Standard Atmosphere (NACA Report-147)"

Tasks 📝

• Create a atmopy/gregg21 sub-package
• Include tests on previous model
• Add official report/article
• Properly documented functions

Add continous integration tool

Currently, the exists a nox file if the package is downloaded directly from repo (an action expected from contributors). Though it includes some testing sessions such us checking, tests and formatting it is necessary to have some online tool such us Travis CI which checks
for everything to be okay!

Project logo

María Moreno, an undergraduate graphic design student, is working on the amtopy logo. The only requirements are:

• Must include a snake, since this is a Python package
• It should be embracing a globe or kind of celestial body

Diehl 1992

Explanation on the model 🌍

This is one of the first ever released atmospheric models. Since it is very simple, it should be easy to generate and include this model in the package 🚀
