Interface EphemerisFile

All Known Implementing Classes:

OEMFile, OrekitEphemerisFile, SP3File

public interface EphemerisFile

An interface for accessing the data stored in an ephemeris file and using the data to create a working Propagator.

An EphemerisFile consists of one or more satellites each an ID unique within the file. The ephemeris for each satellite consists of one or more segments.

Some ephemeris file formats may supply additional information that is not available via this interface. In those cases it is recommended that the parser return a subclass of this interface to provide access to the additional information.
