The current implementation of solid tides is usable and got some
validation, but it is not completely finished yet. It needs some
polishing and adding a few effects. Did you have the opportunity to
chek it against some other reference results yet?
I'll see if I can make the comparison. No promises though. :)


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.

Fine, thanks for the effort. I look forward for the results.

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?

Sounds great. In order to cite Orekit, the best way is to provide a link to the web site and say the library was created by CS Systèmes d'Information in 2002, is published as an open-source library under the permissive Apache V2 license since 2008, and has an open governance since 2011 with representatives from industry, agencies, academics and experts. The main code contributors today are Pascal Parraud, Thomas Neidhart, you and myself, but there are also contributors for other parts (theory, documentation, validation, inter-operability, technical infrastructure maintainance, ...), and there have been former code contributors who are not active yet. Orekit is a living community.

best regards,
Luc
