Work Plan

To Do

• Ask Hanno about assist_free issue
• Finish, document, and store the test suite
• Matt streamlines the example jupyter notebook
• Arya reviews tests of terms and variational equations
• Matt finalizes python wrapper
• Incorporate a caching system into the all_ephem routine.

Postponed

• Move xo, yo, zo values to assist struct
• Move output file pointers to assist struct
• Matt writes a version of store_function that stores the chebyshev coefficients
• Matt writes a routine that reads the coefficients and computes positions/velocities
• Matt adds more non-grav terms (also need to be able to adjust the non-grav parameters)
• Matt works on satellite orbit fitting
• Matt recovers 2020 CD3 orbit fit work

Finished

• Review the Scholar Studies budget, find out how quickly the money needs to be spent. DONE
• Arya plugs in the higher order terms. DONE
• Arya plugs in the variational equations. DONE
• Matt recovers tests of variational equations. DONE
• Plan the next visit -- in 4-6 weeks. DONE
• Clean up and document the higher order and variational code in assist.c DONE
• Need to get constants and parameters from the DE441 file, when possible DONE
• Add means of passing in non-grav parameters
