Tutorials

Step-by-step guides progressing from basic ephemeris queries to advanced mission design and space situational awareness.

Each tutorial is self-contained and includes working code examples. Tutorials are ordered by complexity — start from the top if you are new to the framework.

Tutorial	Level	Description
Ephemeris Queries	Beginner	Query positions of planets, moons, and spacecraft
Coordinate Conversions	Beginner	Frame transforms and Earth orientation
Orbit Creation	Beginner	Keplerian, equinoctial, and Cartesian representations
TLE & OMM	Beginner	TLE parsing, OMM interchange, and SGP4 propagation
Numerical Propagation	Intermediate	High-accuracy orbit propagation with force models
Maneuvers	Intermediate	Impulse maneuvers, attitude control, and maneuver chaining
Geometry & Visibility	Intermediate	Occultations, eclipses, FOV analysis, and ground tracking
Mission Design	Advanced	Lambert transfers, launch windows, and mission scenarios
Conjunction Assessment	Advanced	SSA screening, analysis, avoidance, and CDM export (Pro)
Monte Carlo	Advanced	Dispersion analysis with covariance-based sampling (Pro)
Batch Propagation	Advanced	Parallel multi-spacecraft propagation (Pro)

All tutorials assume SPICE kernels are loaded. See Quick Start for installation and kernel setup.
