Class LofOffsetPointing

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.attitudes.GroundPointing

org.orekit.attitudes.LofOffsetPointing

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttitudeProvider

public class LofOffsetPointing
extends GroundPointing

This class provides a default attitude provider.

The attitude pointing law is defined by an attitude provider and the satellite axis vector chosen for pointing.
