I found some time to compare Orekit's propagator and tide modeling with
our heritage orbit determination system, OCEAN. The comparison work is
currently in progress. A colleague here at the Lab and I plan to submit
the results as a paper to the 2014 Astrodynamics Specialists Conference
[1]. What is the best way to cite Orekit and all of the contributors?

Best Regards,
Evan
