Abstract
Schwarzschild's orbit-superposition technique is the most developed and well-tested method available for constraining the detailed mass distributions of equilibrium stellar systems. Here I provide a very short overview of the method and its existing implementations, and briefly discuss their viability as a tool for modeling the Galaxy using Gaia data.
