Plyades is an MIT-licensed astrodynamics library written in Python. It aims to provide a comprehensive toolset for fast development of high-performance mission analysis applications. The API provides powerful high-level objects for pythonic ease-of-use while the low-level functional building blocks can also be used independently.

.. code-block:: python

import plyades as pl

state = pl.examples.iss

p = pl.Orbit(state)
p.propagate(revolutions=1)
p.plot()
