This repository contains code to support the Introduction to Aeronautics and Astronautics (SESA1015) module.

The code is organised as follows:

• Intro to Python (intro_to_python). Contains simple code as introduction to solving engineering problems using Python. The code covers the following concepts:
  • Creating a function.
  • Vectors/arrays in NumPy.
  • Plotting data using Matplolib.
  • Loops.
• Orbit analysis of Celestial Objects (celestial_objects_orbit_analysis). Contains code to analyse the orbits of Celestial Objects (e.g., stars, planets, moons, planetary systems, star clusters). The code covers the following concepts:
  • The Astroquery toolset/library.
  • The Horizons class.
  • Querying the JPL Horizons service.
  • Plotting and analysing Mars' and Earth's orbits.
