Generate an OSTk Orbit from a Pandas DataFrame.

Parameters:

  • dataframe (pd.DataFrame) -- Pandas DataFrame containing the orbit data.

  • central_body (Celestial, optional) -- Celestial object around which the Orbit is defined. Defaults to Earth.

  • 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].

  • initial_revolution_number (int, optional) -- Initial revolution number. Defaults to 1.

  • interpolation_type (Interpolator.Type | None, optional) -- Interpolation type.

  • output_frame (Frame | None, optional) -- Output frame for the states.

Returns:

OSTk Orbit.

Return type:

Orbit
