Earth Venus Earth Project work
This repository contains a detailed link budget analysis for Earth-Venus-Earth (EVE) communications. It begins with a Python dataclass for each fixed earth station. Dataclasses are a type of Python object where only variables are declared. No methods are included. The site-specific dataclasses have parameters that are true for the site regardless of the target. Following the site-specific dataclasses are link budget classes, which contain target-specific values and methods that return various gains and losses. The most important output of a link budget object is a carrier to noise ratio at a particular receive bandwidth. A link budget class inherits a particular site dataclass. The site-specific dataclasses and the link budgets can be mixed and matched. This gives flexibility, as a link budget for a particular target, such as EVE, can be calculated for different sites by having that link budget inherit different site-specific dataclasses.
- Link_Budget_Modeling.ipynb the Jupyter lab notebook that does the link analysis
- venus_albedo_mapper.py helper classes for the dynamic albedo calculation
- test_venus_albedo_mapper.py test script to prove out venus_albedo_mapper.py

Clone this repository, set up the python environment of your choice, and install dependencies. Run jupyter lab in the EVE directory, and you should be able to open Link_Budget_Modeling.ipynb. Run all cells. Bring any problems you can't solve with getting it up and running to ORI. See https://openresearch.institute/getting-started for how to get in touch for assistance. Issues and PRs are welcome.
