README

Validation

This folder contains some bits to check our algorithms against other astronomical packages.

Currently we only have the Poliastro

In the tools folder above this there is a diff tool to compaire the output of the go program in here with the other systems in the sub folders.

The output from our library can be generated using the following commands:

go build
./verification

This will generate a series of CSV files with the object id.

New verification packages should output the same format as far as possible. The diff tool is able to handle differences in the number format as long as they are parseable as float64 numbers

Documentation

Overview

This tool takes several defined orbits, propagates them forward in time and writes the results to a text file.

This is used so that we can compare the results with other astrodynamics packages. Tests that should generate the same output are found in sub folders from here.
