brahe 1.4.0

Brahe is a modern satellite dynamics library for research and engineering applications designed to be easy-to-learn, high-performance, and quick-to-deploy. The north-star of the development is enabling users to solve meaningful problems and answer questions quickly, easily, and correctly.

/*!
 * GCAT (General Catalog of Artificial Space Objects) module.
 *
 * Provides access to Jonathan McDowell's GCAT catalogs:
 * - **SATCAT** (`satcat.tsv`) - Object catalog with physical/orbital properties
 * - **PSATCAT** (`psatcat.tsv`) - Payload-specific metadata
 *
 * Data is downloaded from `https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/tsv/cat/`
 * with 24-hour file-based caching by default.
