-[![ANISE Validation](https://github.com/nyx-space/anise/actions/workflows/rust.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nyx-space/anise/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
+### Rust
 
-ANISE is validated by running the same queries in ANISE and in SPICE (single threaded) in the _Validation_ step linked above. This workflow validates 101,000 BSP queries in the DE440.BSP file, and 7305 queries each frame in the PCK08 file (every day for 20 years), along with thousands of rotations from Earth high precision BPC file.
+ANISE is developed in Rust, leveraging Rust's robust features such as memory safety, efficient concurrency handling, a superb test framework, and excellent error management. These capabilities ensure that all ANISE features are highly reliable and secure from the outset. Being native to Rust, these features are available first within the Rust ecosystem, offering cutting-edge functionality to Rust developers. They are then integrated into other interfaces. If there is a feature in Rust that has yet to be ported into the language of your choice, please open a Github issue.
 
-**Note:** The PCK data comes from the IAU Reports, which publishes angle, angle rate, and angle acceleration data, expressed in centuries past the J2000 reference epoch.
-ANISE uses Hifitime for time conversions. Hifitime's reliance solely on integers for all time computations eliminates the risk of rounding errors. In contrast, SPICE utilizes floating-point values, which introduces rounding errors in calculations like centuries past J2000. Consequently, you might observe a discrepancy of up to 1 millidegree in rotation angles between SPICE and ANISE. However, this difference is a testament to ANISE's superior precision.

-## Rust Usage
-
-Start using it by adding to your Rust project:
-
-```sh
-cargo add anise
-```
-
-### Frame Transformation of an Orbit
-
-ANISE provides the ability to create Cartesian states (also simply called `Orbit`s), calculate orbital elements from them in an error free way (computations that may fail return a `Result` type), and transform these states into other frames via the loaded context, called `Almanac`, which stores all of the SPICE and ANISE files you need.
-
-```rust
-use anise::prelude::*;
-// ANISE provides pre-built frames, but examples below show how to build them from their NAIF IDs.
-use anise::constants::frames::{EARTH_ITRF93, EARTH_J2000};
-
-// Initialize an empty Almanac
-let ctx = Almanac::default();
-
-// Load a SPK/BSP file
-let spk = SPK::load("../data/de440.bsp").unwrap();
-// Load the high precision ITRF93 kernel
-let bpc = BPC::load("../data/earth_latest_high_prec.bpc").unwrap();
-// Build the planetary constants file, which includes the gravitational parameters and the IAU low fidelity rotations
-use anise::naif::kpl::parser::convert_tpc;
-// Note that the PCK variable can also be serialized to disk to avoid having to rebuild it next time.
-let pck = convert_tpc("../data/pck00008.tpc", "../data/gm_de431.tpc").unwrap();
-
-// And add all of these to the Almanac context
-let almanac = ctx
- .with_spk(spk)
- .unwrap()
- .with_bpc(bpc)
- .unwrap()
- .with_planetary_data(pck);
-
-// Let's build an orbit
-// Start by grabbing a copy of the frame.
-let eme2k = almanac.frame_from_uid(EARTH_J2000).unwrap();

-let epoch = Epoch::from_str("2021-10-29 12:34:56 TDB").unwrap();
