Hello! I work at a space start up called Loft Orbital, we've open sourced all our core astrodynamics and satellite simulation tooling. Here's a link to the GitHub repo, https://github.com/open-space-collective.

It's used by a few start ups and I'm hoping to spread the word a bit more once I get some time to clean some things up. Astrodynamics sorely lacks a great open source ecosystem. Poliastro was great but is now unmaintained.

There's Orekit (which is fantastic) but it's in Java which makes it difficult to scale across languages or stacks.

Nyx Space is excellent, and it's focused on deep space applications.

Contributing to any of these tools would be a great way to improve the open source community in astrodynamics!
