%X <p>Python package for simulating and optimising a space-based VLBI mission. This package enables multiple space telescopes to be modelled by propagating their orbital and attitude state. Elements of the spacecraft design that impact when observations can be performed can also be included in the simulation to assess and mitigate their impact on the science return of the mission (e.g. source visibility including Sun/Earth/Moon avoidance, star trackers, radiators, solar panels, ground station access times, etc.).</p><p></p><p>Checkout the README.md file for installation instructions, software requirements, etc. More information as well as the latest version of the software can be found in the GitHub repository.</p>
