Scarabs (Scarabaeus satyrus, also known as dung beetles) are known to navigate across the desert by looking at the Milky Way. 
The tool has taken this name in their honor.

:gold:`Motivation`
------------------

Building up on existing OD software the likes of GEODYN, ODTBX, ODTK, GMAT, TUDAT, GODOT, CubeNav, Orbit14, and MONTE and on the successful 
development of Basilisk from our colleagues at the AVS laboratory at CU Boulder, the SCB development team mission statement is:

   "To develop a modular, open-source, python front-end, C++ back-end, OD sofware that uses radiometric and opnav measurements.""
