 ## Example
 
 To propagate a satellite from its position and velocity vectors:
 
 ```javascript
-// import pious-squid module
-const PiousSquid = require('pious-squid')
-const J2000 = PiousSquid.J2000
-const RungeKutta4 = PiousSquid.RungeKutta4
-
-
-// create the initial state
-let initState = new J2000(
-  Date.UTC(2010, 2, 10, 22, 53, 14, 697),  // UTC epoch
-  8228, 389, 6888,                         // position (km)
-  -0.7, 6.6, -0.6                          // velocity (km/s)

-let rk4Prop = new RungeKutta4(initState, { stepSize: 300 })
