Constructor Detail

AggregateBoundedPropagator

public AggregateBoundedPropagator(Collection<? extends BoundedPropagator> propagators)

Create a propagator by concatenating several BoundedPropagators.

Parameters:

propagators - that provide the backing data for this instance. There must be at least one propagator in the collection. If there are gaps between the BoundedPropagator.getMaxDate() of one propagator and the BoundedPropagator.getMinDate() of the next propagator an exception may be thrown by any method of this class at any time. If there are overlaps between the the BoundedPropagator.getMaxDate() of one propagator and the BoundedPropagator.getMinDate() of the next propagator then the propagator with the latest BoundedPropagator.getMinDate() is used.

Method Detail

basicPropagate

protected SpacecraftState basicPropagate(AbsoluteDate date)

Description copied from class: AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Propagate an orbit without any fancy features.

This method is similar in spirit to the AbstractAnalyticalPropagator.propagate(org.orekit.time.AbsoluteDate, org.orekit.time.AbsoluteDate) method, except that it does not call any handler during propagation, nor any discrete events, not additional states. It always stop exactly at the specified date.

Overrides:

basicPropagate in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for propagation

Returns:

state at specified date

getPVCoordinates

public TimeStampedPVCoordinates getPVCoordinates(AbsoluteDate date,
                                                 Frame frame)

Description copied from class: AbstractPropagator

Get the PVCoordinates of the body in the selected frame.

Specified by:

getPVCoordinates in interface PVCoordinatesProvider

Overrides:

getPVCoordinates in class AbstractPropagator

Parameters:

date - current date

frame - the frame where to define the position

Returns:

time-stamped position/velocity of the body (m and m/s)

propagateOrbit

protected Orbit propagateOrbit(AbsoluteDate date)

Description copied from class: AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Extrapolate an orbit up to a specific target date.

Specified by:

propagateOrbit in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for the orbit

Returns:

extrapolated parameters

getMinDate

public AbsoluteDate getMinDate()

Description copied from interface: BoundedPropagator

Get the first date of the range.

Specified by:

getMinDate in interface BoundedPropagator

Returns:

the first date of the range

getMaxDate

public AbsoluteDate getMaxDate()

Description copied from interface: BoundedPropagator

Get the last date of the range.

Specified by:

getMaxDate in interface BoundedPropagator

Returns:

the last date of the range

getMass

protected double getMass(AbsoluteDate date)

Description copied from class: AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Get the mass.

Specified by:

getMass in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for the orbit

Returns:

mass mass

getInitialState

public SpacecraftState getInitialState()

Description copied from class: AbstractPropagator

Get the propagator initial state.

Specified by:

getInitialState in interface Propagator

Overrides:

getInitialState in class AbstractPropagator

Returns:

initial state

resetIntermediateState

protected void resetIntermediateState(SpacecraftState state,
                                      boolean forward)

Description copied from class: AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Reset an intermediate state.

Specified by:

resetIntermediateState in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

state - new intermediate state to consider

forward - if true, the intermediate state is valid for propagations after itself

resetInitialState

public void resetInitialState(SpacecraftState state)

Description copied from class: AbstractPropagator

Reset the propagator initial state.

Specified by:

resetInitialState in interface Propagator

Overrides:

resetInitialState in class AbstractPropagator

Parameters:

state - new initial state to consider
