Hi all, thanks for the fantastic package! I'm still working through the documentation and code, but I wanted to ask for some thoughts on my specific use case:

I want to calculate the revisit time of an earth observation satellite like Sentinel-2A. For example, this satellite captures imagery of the ground with a swath of 290 km, which means we get more frequent observations at higher latitude where the swaths converge. I essentially want to calculate how frequently a given location on the planet's surface will be imaged by the satellite, accounting for swath width and convergence at higher latitudes.

Is this something that I could achieve with the functionality already available in pyorbital? If so, any pointers or suggestions would be greatly apprecated.
