The accompanying paper for this code was presented at AAS GNC 2020 and is published here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338936020_Altitude_Control_of_a_Solar_Balloon_for_Mars_Exploration

Overview

This model is used to predict the altitude trajectory of a solar balloon on Mars and the Earth. config.py contains assumptions for the baseline Mars balloon.

To run the program run mars_main.py. An example of plotting data can be seen in plots.py and radiation_plots.py The solar balloon trajectory for Earth is still under developement
