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:

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:

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:

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.
