RE: [Orekit Users] Adding a Constant Thrust Maneuver while propagating.

[Pau Hebrero Casasayas <Pau.Hebrero-Casasayas@scisys.de>]

Hi Luc,

Thanks a lot for the reply. 
I don't know the maneuver date  before the propagation start, is there another way around it?

Thanks again,
Pau

Try to add the events detectors embedded with the maneuver by yourself into the propagator when you add the maneuvers.
The propagator loops over all force models to gather the force model specific detectors at propagation start, but not afterwards, so if you add the maneuver after maneuver start, it will never be triggered.

best regards,
Luc
