Abstract

The KIAM Astrodynamics Toolbox, a new software library for designing spacecraft orbital motion, is introduced. The toolbox is developed at the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences using Fortran and Python languages, thus combining the computational speed and the flexibility of program design. The library can be useful for space flight mechanics specialists, as well as for students in relevant educational programs.
