💫 pysatellites(1) — the manual page, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, welcome to pysatellites 💖 this is a whole section 1 manual page, which means it's a command you run, and it is genuinely iconic. Let me put you on. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

pysatellites — simulates the launching of satellites 🛰️✨

no cap. that's the whole job. you launch satellites. slay.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pysatellites [-d debuglevel] [--debug=debuglevel] [-f file]
             [--fichier=file] [-h ] [--help]

look at her. look at the flags. so clean, so demure. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: it's giving spatial mechanics bootcamp, elementary level. 🚀

This program can be used to train people to spatial mechanics at an elementary level. The way that you are literally handed the power to launch a satellite — from outside the atmosphere, no less — around a handfull of predefined planets, or around any special object you may imagine?? the range. the fantasy. 🔥

So you input the intial velocity vector of the satellite, and boom, you will get the simulated trajectory, as well as some informations like the plots of variation of speed. 📈✨

and as an extra?? bestie. as an extra?? you can compute a movie, which represents the planet seen from the satellite´s point of view during its orbital period. 🎬🌍 not me getting emotional about a viewpoint render. iykyk.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — Show a short usage description. 🥰 she's brief, she's helpful, she's the friend who tells you where the bathroom is.
  • -d debuglevel, --debug=debuglevel — Sets the debug level, from 0 to 10 (default = 0). 🔍 crank it up when you wanna see everything, leave it at 0 when you're in your chill era.
  • -f file, --fichier=file — Sets the configuration file (default: none). 📁 no file, no problem — she just runs with nothing, main character energy.

🌈 little vibe check: the flag --fichier=file is literally French for "file" — bilingual icon behavior, we stan. 🥐
