I haven't seen a lot of contributions (yet) in this domain, but I think Julia is uniquely suited to astrodynamics problems. SGP4.jl [1] is a wrapper of the python-sgp4 package, which allows a user to propagate satellites using the Simplified General Perturbations model via two-line element

Say I have a function that performs one calculation, but for different argument types. For instance, I have a satellite orbit propagator that returns the satellite state at some time, given the initial state and the desired time. I would like to specify the desired time either as an elapsed
