Where can I find resources for ODTK?

Ansys Orbit Determination Tool Kit (ODTK) is a simulation tool that provides highly accurate orbit estimates. It allows users to run preflight simulations to evaluate proposed tracking methodologies, reducing costs and optimizing resources while meeting mission requirements. ODTK uses an extended Kalman-like filter in combination with different methods of smoothing, which requires parameters that are not generally specified by batch-type estimation.
