Propagation

Introductory examples

The following examples showcase the basic functionality of the Tudat numerical propagation framework, for both dynamics and the associated variational equations.

Keplerian satellite orbit

Perturbed satellite orbit

Linear sensitivity analysis using variational equations

Solar System Propagation using Multi-Body Dynamics

Thrust between the Earth and the Moon

JUICE Flybys of Jovian Moons

Advanced examples

The following examples, some of the more advanced features of Tudat are showcased, using either custom functions for guidance, or a more complex definition of the equations of motion. Note that an additional related example (in particular on the setup of a custom environment) can be found on the page for Asteroid Orbit Optimization.
