Re: [Orekit Developers] SOCIS Schedule

Luc,

I still have some spare time these weeks so I should be able to do more than just compile the project.

I'd like to start making sense of the code as soon as I can, so far I have cloned the repo and ran the available tests[2]. How should I best proceed to learn about the codebase and components related to the data-loading project? So far I've had a quick glance at the wiki and found diagrams regarding data-handling[1].

I would also like to work on bugs (no promises on fixes! ^.^) that could help me learn more about the data-loading section of the code, so if there are any please forward them to me.

Please note that, as the proposal said, I have no knowledge on space flight dynamics. If you have references to articles or papers that could help me make more sense of the code I will be working on they are greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Bob
