1. Purpose

OREKIT library is a low-level library for space mechanics projects. It is implemented in the JAVA language.

OREKIT project was initiated by CS with the following goals in mind:

provide a common base layer for space projects
support both quick developments with loose requirements and complex projects with rich physical modeling, fine customization, and high accuracy
be user-extensible through clear and as simple as possible architecture
use unified interfaces to allow models and algorithms switching with almost no effort
provide both basic and rich models that can be plugged interchangeably to ease applications validation
separate models configuration from models usage to hide away complexity and keep caller code simple
support both development of standalone and embedded applications (web services, plugins, scripting frameworks...)
use up-to-date techniques for low cost development and maintenance
remove platforms and system dependencies and leverage environment-hell (environment variables, dynamic libraries versions, operating system, filesystem layout...)

2. Features

Orekit can be used for many purposes, from simple geometrical or orbital tools up to complex orbits propagators with several perturbing forces, maneuvers and discrete events. Here is a short list of the features offered by the library:

- transparent conversion between all parameters
- automatic binding with frames

- mass management
- user-defined associated state (for example battery status, or higher order derivatives, or anything else)
Covariance

Propagation
- analytical propagation models
  - Kepler
  - Eckstein-Heschler

  - step handlers can be called with interpolators valid throughout one propagator time step, which can have varying sizes
  - step handlers can be switched off completely, when only final state is desired
  - special step handlers are provided for a posteriori ephemeris generation: all intermediate results are stored during propagation and provided back to the application which can navigate at will through them, effectively using the propagated orbit as if it was analytical model, even if it really is a numerically propagated one, which is ideal for search and iterative algorithms
  - several step handlers can be used simultaneously, so it is possible to have a fine grained fixed time step to log state in a huge file, and have at the same time a coarse grained time step to display progress for user at a more human-friendly rate, this feature can also be used for debugging purpose, by setting up a temporary step handler alongside the operational ones

3. Dependency

OREKIT has only one dependency: the Hipparchus open-source library. This library provides mathematical tools for many purposes: geometry, polynomial equations, differential equations, and more... It is distributed under the business-friendly Apache Software License version 2.0.

OREKIT is based on several Hipparchus packages:

geometry, which provides very useful objects as vectors and rotations (internally represented by quaternions)
ode, which provides numerical solutions to solve Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)
optim, which provides multi-dimensional optimization
solvers, which provides root-finding algorithms
differentiation, which provides analytical computation of partial derivatives to arbitrary order and arbitrary number of free parameters

The use of Hipparchus is hidden in OREKIT as much as possible so users don't need to fully master this library. If they wish, they can limit themselves to understanding the simple classes Vector3D and Rotation from the geometry package, and the interface FirstOrderIntegrator from the ode package.
