+Mechanics, with a focus on ease of use, speed, and quick visualization.  It
+provides a simple and intuitive API, and handles physical quantities with
+units.
+
+Some features include orbit propagation, solution of the Lambert's problem,
+conversion between position and velocity vectors and classical orbital
+elements and orbit plotting, among others.  It focuses on interplanetary
+applications, but can also be used to analyze artificial satellites in
+Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).")
