### Brouwer-Lyddane propagation
At the opposite of the Eckstein-Hechler model, the Brouwer-Lyddane model is
suited for elliptical orbits. In other words, there is no problem having a small
(or big) eccentricity or inclination. Lyddane helped to solve this issue with
the Brouwer model by summing the long and short periodic variations of the mean anomaly
with the ones of the argument of perigee. One needs still to be careful with
eccentricities lower than 5e-4. For singularity reason, the computation should not
be done for the critical inclination : 63.4°.
The Brouwer-Lyddane model considers J2 to J5 potential zonal coefficients, and uses the
mean and short periodic variation of the keplerian elements to compute the position.
### GNSS propagation
There are several dedicated models used for GNSS constellations propagation. These
