+# Description
+
+Orekit (ORbit Extrapolation KIT) is a free java library providing basic space dynamics objects and services.
+
+This repository contains examples and some additional scripts.
+
+# Licensing
+
+Orekit is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0.
+A copy of this license is provided in the LICENSE.txt file.
+
+# Content
+
+The python-wrapper project allows using orekit in a python environment. This repository contains some key files if building the wrapper from scratch. For many applications it is recommended to use pre-built conda packages through the conda-forge python system. See the [wiki](https://gitlab.orekit.org/orekit-labs/python-wrapper/-/wikis/home) for more details.
+
+# Building from source
+
+The sources for the java classes that allows Python subclassing are no longer in a separate package but integrated in a modified orekit source fork.
+
+This fork is available at https://github.com/petrushy/Orekit
+
+A compiled jar and some other artifacts are available at https://github.com/petrushy/orekit_python_artifacts
+
+Build scripts for the automated conda package builds are at https://github.com/conda-forge/orekit-feedstock/tree/main/recipe
