Generate a Pandas DataFrame from an OSTk Orbit.

Parameters:

  • orbit (Orbit) -- OSTk Orbit.

  • instants (list[Instant]) -- List of instants at which the Orbit is to be evaluated.

  • reference_frame (Frame | None, optional) -- Reference frame.

  • time_column (str | None, optional) -- Name of the column containing the time data in [UTC].

  • position_columns (list[str] | None, optional) -- List of column names containing the position data in [m].

  • velocity_columns (list[str] | None, optional) -- List of column names containing the velocity data in [m/s].

  • mass_column (str | None, optional) -- Name of the column containing the mass data in [kg].

  • drag_coefficient_column (str | None, optional) -- Name of the column containing the drag coefficient data.

  • surface_area_column (str | None, optional) -- Name of the column containing the surface area data in [m^2].

  • set_time_index (bool, optional) -- Whether to set the time column as the DataFrame index. Defaults to True.

Returns:

Pandas DataFrame containing the Orbit data.

Return type:

pd.DataFrame
