Summary of Changes

Hello @ChristopherRabotin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly expands the ANISE project's documentation, introducing detailed explanations of its core architectural patterns and key features. It aims to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of ANISE's design philosophy, particularly its approach to thread-safe data management, robust frame handling, and performance advantages over traditional astrodynamics toolkits. The new content also includes API references to facilitate easier adoption and usage of the library.

Highlights

  • Comprehensive ANISE Documentation: This pull request introduces extensive new documentation for the ANISE project, covering its core architectural patterns, design philosophy, and API references. This aims to provide a deeper understanding of ANISE's capabilities and usage.
  • The Almanac Pattern Explained: Detailed explanations of the Almanac object are added, highlighting its role as a self-contained, thread-safe context for managing ephemeris and orientation data, moving away from traditional global state approaches. This includes its memory management and search engine capabilities.
  • Introduction to Frame Safety: New documentation outlines the concept of 'Frame Safety' in ANISE, explaining how the toolkit prevents common astrodynamics errors by treating frames as rich, validated objects and performing checks before computations, ensuring physical validity.
  • ANISE Advantages Over Legacy Toolkits: A dedicated section explains why ANISE is a modern alternative to legacy toolkits like SPICE, emphasizing its design for multi-core processors, thread safety, memory and frame safety through Rust, and enhanced precision and performance.
  • API Reference for Core Components: New reference documentation is provided for key ANISE components, including the Almanac, Frame, and Orbit objects, detailing their functionalities, initialization methods, and common operations for both Rust and Python interfaces.

Code Review

This pull request adds extensive documentation for ANISE, covering core concepts like the Almanac pattern, frame safety, and API references for key components. The new documentation is well-structured and informative. I've found a couple of minor inconsistencies and a typo in the new markdown files, which I've detailed in the review comments. Overall, this is a great addition to the project's documentation.
