OSTk Cross-Platform Validation Against GMAT/Orekit (Mission Sequence Scenario 2)¶
This tutorial demonstrates how to compare OSTk numerical orbit propagation with other tools like Orekit or GMAT. This example will be for a mission sequence that consists of a coasting phases.

Set up Comparison Files¶
Define array inputs that can be changed to include/exclude gmat/orekit result comparisons
title_prefix = "EGM96 60x60 Gravity"
filenames = [
"gmat_astrodynamics/scenario002-mission-sequence.csv",
"orekit_astrodynamics/scenario002-mission-sequence.csv",
]
legend_name_list = ["GMAT", "OREKIT"]
multiplication_factors = [
np.array([1.0e3, 1.0e3, 1.0e3]),
np.array([1.0, 1.0, 1.0]),
] # GMAT and Orekit don't output in the same units
Setup Comparison Scenario in OSTk¶
Define the physical Environment
earth = Earth.from_models(
EarthGravitationalModel(
EarthGravitationalModel.Type.EGM96, Directory.undefined(), 60, 60
),
EarthMagneticModel(EarthMagneticModel.Type.Undefined),
EarthAtmosphericModel(EarthAtmosphericModel.Type.Undefined),
)
environment = Environment(Instant.J2000(), [earth])
Define the SatelliteSystem
mass = Mass(100.0, Mass.Unit.Kilogram)
satellite_geometry = Composite(
Cuboid(
Point(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
np.eye(3).tolist(),
[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
)
)
inertia_tensor = np.identity(3)
surface_area = 1.0
drag_coefficient = 2.2
satellite_system = SatelliteSystem(
mass,
satellite_geometry,
inertia_tensor,
surface_area,
drag_coefficient,
)
Define the initial State of the SatelliteSystem
start_instant = Instant.date_time(DateTime.parse("2023-01-01T00:00:00.000"), Scale.UTC)
initial_state = State(
start_instant,
Position.meters(
np.array([-4283387.412456233, -4451426.776125101, -2967617.850750065]),
Frame.GCRF(),
),
Velocity.meters_per_second(
np.array([4948.074939732174, -957.3429532772124, -5721.173027553034]),
Frame.GCRF(),
),
)
state_builder = StateBuilder(
frame=Frame.GCRF(),
coordinate_subsets=[
CartesianPosition.default(),
CartesianVelocity.default(),
CoordinateSubset.mass(),
CoordinateSubset.surface_area(),
CoordinateSubset.drag_coefficient(),
],
)
coordinates = [
*initial_state.get_coordinates().tolist(),
mass.in_kilograms(),
satellite_system.get_cross_sectional_surface_area(),
satellite_system.get_drag_coefficient(),
]
start_state = state_builder.build(initial_state.get_instant(), coordinates)
Define the Dynamics to consider for Propagation
dynamics = Dynamics.from_environment(environment)
Define a NumericalSolver
numerical_solver = NumericalSolver(
NumericalSolver.LogType.NoLog,
NumericalSolver.StepperType.RungeKuttaDopri5,
30.0,
1.0e-12,
1.0e-12,
)
Define a Propagator
propagator = Propagator(numerical_solver, dynamics)
Propagate with OSTk¶
Define the propagation instants of interest
instants = Interval.closed(
start_state.get_instant(), start_state.get_instant() + Duration.seconds(86400.0)
).generate_grid(Duration.seconds(120.0))
Now that everything is set up, we can calculate the state arrays from the desired time instant grid
ostk_states = propagator.calculate_states_at(start_state, instants)
Process Cross Platform Results¶
Read in reference data from CSV file for GMAT and Orekit
all_comparison_states = []
for ind, filename in enumerate(filenames):
with open(f"{os.getcwd()}/data/{filename}") as csvfile:
reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
comparison_states = []
comparison_instants = []
for row in reader:
instant_iter = start_instant + Duration.seconds(
float(row[reader.fieldnames[0]])
)
position_iter = Position.meters(
[
row[reader.fieldnames[1]],
row[reader.fieldnames[2]],
row[reader.fieldnames[3]],
],
Frame.GCRF(),
)
velocity_iter = Velocity.meters_per_second(
[
row[reader.fieldnames[4]],
row[reader.fieldnames[5]],
row[reader.fieldnames[6]],
],
Frame.GCRF(),
)
position_iter_m = np.multiply(
position_iter.get_coordinates(), multiplication_factors[ind]
)
velocity_iter_ms = np.multiply(
velocity_iter.get_coordinates(), multiplication_factors[ind]
)
comparison_instants.append(instant_iter)
comparison_states.append(
State(
instant_iter,
Position.meters(position_iter_m, Frame.GCRF()),
Velocity.meters_per_second(velocity_iter_ms, Frame.GCRF()),
)
)
all_comparison_states.append(comparison_states)
