Description
            CelestLab is a library of space flight dynamics functions for Scilab. 
This library has been developed by CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales)
for mission analysis purposes. It can be used for trajectory analysis and orbit
design for various types of missions (around Earth, interplanetary...).  

CelestLab includes about 200 functions that allow mission designers to perform
various tasks such as: orbit propagation, manoeuvre computation, change of
reference frames and coordinates, etc...

Comment from Alain Lamy -- July 28, 2011, 11:51:45 AM    
No change has been done in the last version of Celestlab (2.2.0) regarding CelestLab
predefined data. The variables "%CL_xxx" are still there. 

But, in the next major version (2.3.0) the objective is to limit the number of variables
to a few (1 or 2), by gathering the existing variables into a structure. 

As a matter of fact, we find it more convenient to have default values for a certain
number of very common variables. This simplifies the use of CelestLab in everyday work
because most of the time, the user doesn't have to care about many optional function
arguments. 

The structure could be called %CL, and it would contain fields like : mu, eqRad...

This implies lots of changes inside CelestLab, and a loss of compatibility with previous
versions. 
But the impacts for a CelestLab user should be limited in practice, which makes the
changes acceptable.
