v0.1.0

[philiplinden]

This is a checkpoint of work done in late 2023 and early 2024. It is the culmination of much experimentation.

The tag does not indicate a working release---it certainly is not one. It is a pinned "save point" before continuing to change everything.

nyx_space. The documentation is... sparse. Expect to spend a lot of time in the source code or DMing the author. There is a wide set of tools tailored specifically for LEO missions up to lunar trajectories, including thrust maneuvers and simulated orbit determination from terrestrial ground stations.

Hahaha this is generous! I promise I'm working on this as part of the official version 2.0.0. I've started writing some examples for Nyx, and the ANISE documentation is a notch better. But overall, I strongly agree that I need to work a bunch on the documentation, and in the meantime, absolutely do not hesitate to reach out!

I really like that you've set up a documentation website already. What tool did you use for the arch documentation, it looks pretty nice!

The website uses

• MkDocs to build a website from markdown, with plugins. Config in mkdocs.yml, build example in the github actions workflows.
  • mkdocs-material https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material
  • include_dir_to_nav https://github.com/mysiki/mkdocs_include_dir_to_nav
  • git-authors https://github.com/timvink/mkdocs-git-authors-plugin
• nbconvert is used on the Jupyter notebooks to convert them into static webpages. This used to run in the workflow too, but I took it out because it was annoying to maintain.
• draw.io for flow charts and block diagrams. These are saved as .xml but I export them to images and embed those on the website. I used the "sketch" stylization feature.

This is my go-to setup lately. I've been using it for a while and I love it.
