Tutorials and Training

This section provides guided workflows. Each tutorial is written as a practical engineering sequence rather than a UI feature list.

Training Path

Tutorial	Objective
First Mission Study	Create a spacecraft, ground target, and first access-style result.
Coverage Workflow	Configure a grid/AOI coverage analysis and interpret heat-map results.
Link Budget Workflow	Build a basic RF chain and run link analysis with budget outputs.
Power Budget Workflow	Add solar arrays, batteries, loads, and inspect SOC behaviour.
Lifetime Workflow	Estimate orbital lifetime under atmospheric drag and solar activity assumptions.

How to Use Tutorials

Use tutorials as repeatable test procedures. After a code change, a mature ASTROLAB project should be able to run these workflows without errors and produce plausible plots and reports.
