Ash | I don't have logging added yet, but I was able to expand my test cases a little bit and farnocchia does seem to do better than markley with the same runtime | 20:16:52 |

astrojuanlu | well well well! this channel has been a bit silent lately, it's time to bring back here part of the conversation jorgepiloto , meuge and I have been having in private until now :) | 12:11:51 |
astrojuanlu | as a summary: we are experimenting with a new
| 12:18:32 |
astrojuanlu | The idea is that this This is highly experimental and we are not 100 % settled yet, so all feedback is more than welcome. | 12:19:30 |
astrojuanlu | for the second part of GSOC, we'd like to focus on questions like:
so we need to explore a bit of geodesy and spherical trigonometry meuge | 12:29:25 |
astrojuanlu | to have a clear end goal, I would focus on the first question: what's the area that this satellite can observe? and set some assumptions:
| 12:31:23 |
astrojuanlu | so, the first sub question is: given a
| 12:35:52 |
astrojuanlu | what do you all think? | 12:35:59 |
dhruvj | I would personally find these functions to be really helpful, especially in designing earth observation satellite constellation. | 12:43:11 |
Ash | The work I have been doing for my SSA gym environment can answer Q3 | 18:54:25 |
Ash | just take the aer from earth site to GCRS object, decide of a horizon cut off (probably 15 degrees) and make a bool for above cut off or not | 18:55:34 |
Ash | I got astro_trans in agreement with astropy | 18:56:03 |
Ash | test case results | 18:56:12 |
Ash | Test 10a: hx error in azimuth (arc seconds) = 0.05567854570721198 Test 10b: hx error in elevation (arc seconds) = 0.04228777958561285 Test 10c: hx error in slant range (meters) = -0.006513677537441254 | 18:56:14 |
Ash | I can help with how to use it if you want the speed of astro_trans, otherwise the SkyCoord and EarthLocation classes of astropy will suffice | 18:57:28 |

astrojuanlu | reading https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.12318 "Coverage Area Determination for Conical Fields of ViewConsidering an Oblate Earth", exactly what we need! | 09:35:28 |
astrojuanlu | I said at the beginning that we would like to represent the area as a polygon. perhaps that's too ambitious and only useful for visualization purposes, and we could focus on:
