Low Earth Orbit targeting

This software is designed to simulate maneuvering in low Earth orbit (with a certain focus on Space Shuttle operations). It provides tools to numerically compute orbits in realistic non-spherical gravity, simulate finite duration maneuvering burns and optimize burn parameters via multi-parameter fit routines.

The simulation is benchmarked against JSBSim (which in turn is benchmarked against NASA orbital simulation codes), thus the core of the simulation should be fairly accurate. 

The software is under development, support for orbital rendezvous computation and visualization is planned.

For instructions to compile and run, see the included doc/ folder.
