Datasets Module¶

The datasets module provides convenient access to groundstation locations and planetary ephemeris kernels.

Module Overview¶

The module is organized by data source:

• brahe.datasets.groundstations: Curated groundstation location datasets
• brahe.datasets.ssn_sensors: Vallado SSN sensor site dataset
• brahe.datasets.naif: NASA JPL NAIF planetary ephemeris kernels
• brahe.datasets.gcat: GCAT satellite catalogs (SATCAT, PSATCAT)
• brahe.datasets.star_catalogs: Fixed-epoch star catalogs (FK5, Hipparcos, Tycho-2)
• brahe.datasets.icgem: ICGEM spherical harmonic gravity models (Earth + celestial bodies)

Submodules¶

• Groundstation Functions - Groundstation location datasets
• SSN Sensor Functions - Vallado SSN sensor site dataset
• NAIF Functions - Planetary ephemeris kernels from NASA JPL
• GCAT Functions - GCAT satellite catalog access
• Star Catalog Functions - FK5, Hipparcos, and Tycho-2 star catalog access
• ICGEM Functions - ICGEM spherical harmonic gravity models
