Hi all, It fills us with astronomical joy to announce the release of poliastro 0.17.0! 🚀 poliastro is an open source (MIT) pure Python library for interactive astrodynamics and orbital mechanics, with a focus on ease of use, speed, and quick visualization. It provides a simple and intuitive API, and handles physical quantities with units. It is used in academia and the industry by people from all around the world. You can install poliastro using pip, conda, or mamba: pip install "poliastro==0.17.0" mamba install "poliastro=0.17.0" --channel conda-forge This release brought a number of new features, most notably an Orbit.to_ephem method for retrieving the propagation time history from an osculating orbit, a GabbardPlotter class to plot Gabbard diagrams, a new recursive series Kepler solver for elliptical orbits, and a new Orbit.elevation method. In addition, we have refactored the propagation code and deprecated or deleted several parts of the API, so existing users are encouraged to read the full release notes before upgrading: https://docs.poliastro.space/en/0.17.x/changelog.html#poliastro-0-17-0- 2022-07-10 We will present poliastro at SciPy 2022, the 21st annual Scientific Computing with Python conference, will be held in Austin, TX July 11-17, 2022.
