Main interests. Mathematics. Astronomy. Hypatia [a] (born c. 350–370; died 415 AD) [1] [4] was a Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, then part of the Eastern Roman Empire. She was a prominent thinker in Alexandria where she taught philosophy and astronomy. [5]
Hypatia, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who lived in a very turbulent era in Alexandria’s history. She is the earliest female mathematician of whose life and work reasonably detailed knowledge exists.

Hypatia was a mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who taught and wrote in the Neoplatonic tradition. She was killed by a Christian mob in 415 for her pagan beliefs and her association with the governor Orestes.
Jun 20, 2021 · Hypatia is probably the most famous of the female philosophers from the ancient world, because of her shocking death. But how unusual was she? While Hypatia would most definitely have stood out as a novelty, she was not the only woman who taught philosophy under the Roman Empire.

Hypatia is a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network simulation framework. It pre-calculates network state over time, enables packet-level simulations using ns-3 and provides visualizations to aid understanding.
It consists of four main components:
•satgenpy : Python framework to generate LEO satellite networks and generate routing over time over a period of time. It additionally includes several analysis tools to study individual cases. It makes use of several Python modules among which: numpy, astropy, ephem, networkx, sgp4, geopy, matplotlib, statsmodels, cartopy (and its dependent (data) packages: libproj-dev, proj-data, proj-bin, libgeos-dev), and exputil. More information can be found in satgenpy/README.md. (license: MIT)
•ns3-sat-sim : ns-3 based framework which takes as input the state generated by satgenpy to perform packet-level simulations over LEO satellite networks. It makes use of the satellite ns-3 module by Pedro Silva to calculate satellite locations over time. It uses the basic-sim ns-3 module to make e.g., running end-to-end TCP flows easier, which makes use of several Python modules (e.g., numpy, statsmodels, exputil) as well as several other packages (e.g., OpenMPI, lcov, gnuplot). More information can be found in ns3-sat-sim/README.md. (license: GNU GPL version 2)
•satviz : Cesium visualization pipeline to generate interactive satellite network visualizations. It makes use of the online Cesium API by generating CesiumJS code. The API calls require its user to obtain a Cesium access token (via https://cesium.com/). More information can be found in satviz/README.md. (license: MIT)
•paper : Experimental and plotting code to reproduce the experiments and figures which are presented in the paper. It makes use of several Python modules among which: satgenpy, numpy, networkload, and exputil. It uses the gnuplot package for most of its plotting. More information can be found in paper/README.md.

Visualizations
Most of the visualizations in the paper are available here. All of the visualizations can be regenerated using scripts available in satviz as discussed above. Below are some examples of visualizations: •SpaceX Starlink 5-shell side-view (left) and top-view (right). To know the configuration of the shells, click here. •Amazon Kuiper 3-shell side-view (left) and top-view (right). To know the configuration of the shells, click here. •RTT changes over time between Paris and Luanda over Starlink 1st shell. Left: 117 ms, Right: 85 ms. Click on the images for 3D interactive visualizations. •Link utilizations change over time, even with the input traffic being static.

Hypatia is a tool to generate, simulate and visualize low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. It consists of four components: satgenpy, ns3-sat-sim, satviz and paper, and is used to study the "Internet from space" in IMC 2020.
