Version 5.0 now depends on version 2.1 of Apache commons math. |
4.1 | 2009-08-18 | version 4.1 is an upgrade bringing some new features and fixing a few bugs. The equinox-based frames family with IAU1980 precession-nutation models that are still used by many legacy systems are now supported. This simplifies interoperability with legacy systems and helps migrating from this old frames family to the new CIO-based ones that is supported by orekit since its first versions. The data loading mechanism used to retrieve IERS data (Earth Orientation Parameters, UTC-TAI history) and JPL ephemerides is now also used to retrieve gravity potential files. This mechanism has also been vastly improved to support new use cases (loading from disk, from classpath, from network delegating loading to an external library ...). Another change is the addition of the TDB time scale. Some minor incompatibilities have been introduced but they are easy to solve for users, the explanations are provided in detailed changes report. |
4.0 | 2008-10-13 | major upgrade with new features (GCRF and ITRF2005 frames, DE 405 and DE 406 ephemerides support, improved and greatly simplified date/time support, vastly improved data configuration with zip files support, new tutorials, improved performances, more tests and all identified bugs fixed, new translation files for italian, spanish and norse. |

Added a DetectorEventHandler interface aimed at handling only the event occurrence part in propagation. This allows to separate the event detection itself (which is declared by the EventDetector interface) from the action to perform once the event has been detected. This also allows to avoid subclassing of events, which was cumbersome. It also allows to share a single handler for several events.

Flattened ITRF frames tree so all supported ITRF realizations (2005, 2000, 97, 93) share the same parent ITRF2008. Previously, the tree was 2008 <- 2005 <- 2000 <- {93,97} and the reference dates for Helmert transforms were all different.

Vastly improved performances for Poisson series computations. Poisson series are often evaluated several components together (x/y/s in new non-rotating paradigm, ∆ψ/∆ε in old equinox paradigm for example). As the components are built from a common model, they share many nutation terms. We now evaluate these shared terms only once, as we evaluate the components in parallel thanks to a preliminary "compilation" phase performed when the Poisson series are set up. This dramatically improves speed: on a test case based on x/y/s evaluations over a one year time span without any caching, we noticed a more than two-fold speedup: mean computation time reduced from 6.75 seconds (standard deviation 0.49s) to 3.07 seconds (standard deviation 0.04s), so it was a 54.5% reduction in mean computation time. At the same time, accuracy was also improved thanks to the Møller-Knuth TwoSum algorithm without branching now used for summing all series terms. | luc |

Classical equinox-based paradigm and new non-rotating origin paradigm for inertial and terrestrial frames are now supported with all IERS conventions. This means it is now possible to use MOD/TOD/GTOD with the recent precession/nutation models from recent conventions, and it is also possible to use CIRF/TIRF/ITRF with the older precession nutation models from ancient conventions. Of course, all these conventions and frames can be used at the same time, which is very important to support legacy systems and to convert coordinates between older and newer reference systems. | luc |

Extracted fundamental nutation arguments from CIRF frame.

Added a semianalytical propagator based on the Draper Semianalytic Satellite Theory.

Additional states can now be used in events. Note that waiting for the fix for issue MATH-965 in Apache Commons Math to be been officially published, a workaround has been used in Orekit. This workaround implies that events that should be triggered based on additional equations for integration-based propagator will be less accurate on the first step (full accuracy is recovered once the first step is accepted). So in these corner cases, users are advised to start propagation at least one step before the first event (or to use a version of Apache Commons Math that includes the fix, which has been added to the development version as of r1465654). This change fixes feature request #134. | luc |
![]() |
AdditionalStateProviders can now be used for all propagators, not only analytical ones. Note that when both state providers and additional differential equations are used in an integration-based propagator, they must used different states names. A state can only be handled by one type at a time, either already integrated or integrated by the propagator (fixes feature request #133). | luc |
![]() |
Added a way to store user data into SpacecraftState. User data are simply double arrays associated to a name. They are handled properly by interpolation, event handlers, ephemerides and adapter propagators. Note that since SpacecraftState instances are immutable, adding states generates a new instance, using a fluent API principle (fixes feature request #132). | luc |

Added a way to retrieve all additional states at once from a step interpolator. | luc |

Fixed wrong orientation for ICRF and all IAU pole and prime meridians (a few tens milli-arcseconds). This error mainly induced an error in celestial bodies directions, including the Sun which is used in many places in Orekit (fixes bug #130). | luc |

Added support for IERS conventions 2010. Note that Orekit still also support conventions 2003 in addition to conventions 2010. However, as IERS does not provide anymore data to link TIRF 2003 with ITRF, ITRF based on 2003 convention is not available. ITRF can only be based on either 2010 conventions for CIO-based paradigm or on 1996 conventions for equinox-based paradigm. | luc |

Atmosphere models now provide their central body frame. | luc |

Added versions of angular coordinates and position-velocity that use any field instead of double (classes FieldAngularCoordinates and FieldPVCoordinates). This allows to compute derivatives of these quantities with respect to any number of variables and to any order (using DerivativeStructure for the field elements), or to compute at arbitrary precision (using Dfp for the field elements). Regular transforms as produced by frames handle these objects properly and compute partial derivatives for them. | luc |

Converted Cunningham and Droziner force models to use the API of the new partial derivatives framework, despite they STILL USE finite differences. These two force models are now considered obsolete, they have been largely superseded by the Holmes-Featherstone model, which can be used for much larger degrees (Cunnigham and Droziner use un-normalized equations and coefficients which underflow at about degree 90), which already provides analytical derivatives, and which is twice faster. It was therefore considered a waste of time to develop analytical derivatives for them. As a consequence, they use finite differences to compute their derivatives, which adds another huge slow down factor when derivatives are requested. So users are strongly recommended to avoid these models when partial derivatives are desired... | luc |

Added a new force model for central body gravity field, based on Holmes and Featherstone algorithms. This model is a great improvement over Cunningham and Droziner models. It allows much higher degrees (it uses normalized coefficients and carefully crafted recursions to avoid overflows and underflows). It computes analytically all partial derivatives and hence can be used to compute accurate state transition matrices. It is also much faster than the other models (for example a 10 days propagation of a low Earth orbit with a 1cm tolerance setting and a 69x69 gravity field was about 45% faster with Holmes and Featherstone than with Cunningham). | luc |
![]() |
Improved gravity field un-normalization to allow higher degrees/order with Cunningham and Droziner models. Formerly, the coefficients computation underflowed for square fields degree = order = 85, and for non-square fields at degree = 130 for order = 40. Now square fields can go slightly higher (degree = order = 89) and non-square fields can go much higher (degree = 393 for order = 63 for example). Attempts to use un-normalization past the underflow limit now raises an exception. | luc |

Added support for time-dependent gravity fields. All recent gravity fields include time-dependent coefficients (linear trends and pulsations at several different periods).

Fixed serialization of all predefined frames. This fix implied also fixing serialization of celestial bodies as the predefined ICRF frame relies on them. Note for both types of objects, only some meta-data are really serialized in such a way that at deserialization time we retrieve singletons. So the serialized data are small (less than 500 bytes) and exchanging many time these objects in a distributed application does not imply anymore lots of duplication. | luc |

Changed step handling of abstract propagators, now they use a single step equal to the duration of the propagation in all cases except when a fixed step is requested in master mode.

TLEPropagator now implements the Propagator interface, and hence can benefit from all events detection and mode handling features (fixes features request #4) | luc |
![]() |
improved events detection robustness, by decoupling events handling from adaptive step sizes in numerical integrators and (fix contributed to Apache Commons Math) and from classical propagation in analytical and tabulated propagators. This implies the events will NOT reduce integration step sizes anymore, thus also increasing speed and in corner cases reducing local precision at event occurrence, reducing max step size is often sufficient to compensate for this drawback | luc |
![]() |
all propagators, including analytical ones or tabulated ones can now be used for event detection. Of course for tabulated propagators, setting up an event that would try to reset the state triggers an error when the event occurs | véronique |

propagation can now be done between two dates, regardless of the date of the initial state | véronique |
![]() |
attitude can be specified either using a date only thanks to a new AttitudeLaw interface or using a date, a position-velocity provider and a frame (which can be any frame) thanks to a new AttitudeProvider interface, wrappers have been added to convert between the two interfaces. A side effect of this change is that LofOffset constructor now needs a reference to an inertial reference frame, otherwise the attitude woud be wrong if a non-inertial frame were passed to getAttitude, due to velocity composition (the computed LOF would not really be a LOF) | véronique |
![]() |
the notion of quasi-inertial frames has been renamed as pseudo-inertial because quasi-inertial has a precise relativistic meaning that is not considered here. We only consider these frames to be suitable for Newtonian mechanics. | luc |
![]() |
the equinox based frames have been renamed to more standard names (MOD, and GTOD instead of MEME, and PEF). The implementation of TEME was also wrong (it was really a TOD), so now there are both a TOD with a proper name and a TEME with a proper implementation. | luc |

numerical propagation can now be done either using Cartesian parameters, circular parameters, equinoctial parameters, or Keplerian parameters (elliptical or hyperbolic) and using mean, eccentric or true position angles for the parameters where it is relevant. So there are now 10 possible configurations for state vector. This allows propagation of any kind of trajectories, including hyperbolic orbits used for interplanetary missions, or atmospheric re-entry trajectories | véronique |

a new experimental numerical propagator has been added, in addition to computing the spacecraft state at target time, it also computes the partial derivatives of this state with respect to the initial state (one jacobian) and with respect to models parameters (another jacobian). The jacobians are integrated alongside with the state, using variational equations for better accuracy and numerical robustness. This will help further implementation of orbit determination or optimization algorithms. This code is still considered to be experimental as of 5.0 and the API could change in the future. | pascal |
![]() |
a new SpacecraftFrame class has been added, taking into account orbit and attitude thanks to an underlying propagator. This allows to see the spacecraft just as another known geometrical object automatically handled and connected to all other frames. For an instantaneous view, Transform instances can also be built directly by SpacecraftState instances. | luc |

fixed a parameters inversion in Earth Orientation Parameters for IAU-1980 models. The error could introduce up to a few meters error in position during transformations between TEME and MEME Thanks to John Pritchard. | luc |

factories have been introduced for handling all data formats. Their default configuration correspond to the legacy formats used in previous versions (IERS format for UTC-TAI, EOPC04 and bulletins B for Earth Orientation Parameters, JPL format for celestial bodies ...). Users can now add support for their own formats if they want (for example if they prefer using bulletins A instead of EOPC04 and bulletins B, or if they have their own gravity field format ...). Consequences of these changes are that the SolarSystemBody and the PotentialReaderFactory classes have been deprecated (replaced by CelestialBodyFactory and GravityFieldFactory) and that TimeScalesFactory and FramesFactory have been extended. All these factories follow the same generic pattern. | luc |
![]() |
improved thread safety (however, Orekit is still NOT completely thread-safe). | luc |

the loaders for gravity fields now can optionally allow missing coefficients (they will be replaced by 0.0 except c[0][0] which will be replaced by 1.0). | luc |

improved TLE elements loading. Now TLE lines are loaded using the standard data loading mechanism (thus allowing loading from disk files, network, classpath ...), they can contain TLE for several objects in one file, and they may contain some non-TLE lines if desired. | luc |
![]() |
a new PVCoordinatesProvider interface has been created on top of several existing classes and interfaces (orbit propagator, celestial bodies, some moving frames ...). This is a major generalization that allows to use either satellites or celestial bodies in many algorithms (attitude pointing target, eclipses and field of view events ...) | véronique |
![]() |
improved numerical propagator efficiency when used from an outside loop: the initial state is automatically set to the last state at propagation end, thus allowing to restart from here without recomputing everything | luc |
![]() |
added a reset feature in all propagators, allowing to reuse an already configured propagator for several different orbits | luc |
![]() |
fixed a mode handling error in NumericalPropagator: when a propagator was reused with a new mode setting, the previous step handlers were still used in addition to the new ones instead of replacing them | luc |

KeplerianPropagator now preserve orbits types | luc |
![]() |
AbsoluteDate, Orbit, PVCoordinates, Attitude and SpacecraftState instances can now all be slightly shifted in time using simple evolution models (keplerian for orbit, fixed angular rate for attitude, fixed translation for position/velocity). This is not a replacement for proper propagation but is useful for known simple motions or small time shifts or when coarse accuracy is sufficient | luc |
![]() |
changed AttitudeLaw.getState signature to use complete orbit. This is an incompatible change introduced to fix a major bug in spin computation for some attitude laws. The laws for which orientation depends on satellite velocity have a spin vector that depends on acceleration. This can be computed only if complete orbit is available. This change should be simple to handle from a users point of view, as the caller generally already has the orbit available and attitude laws implementations can retrieve all the former parameters (date, position/velocity, frame) directly from orbit. | luc |

fixed corner cases in event detection during orbit propagation, sometimes an already detected and handled event prevented the propagator to go further in time. | luc |

added an experimental implementation of a BoxAndSolarArray spacecraft model considering a convex body (either parallelepipedic or defined by a set of facets) and a rotating solar array, for accurate modeling of surface forces with attitude.

updated error message localization to be more consistent with Java exception. Now getMessage returns a non-localized message and only getLocalizedMessage returns a message localized for the platform default locale. A new getMessage(Locale) method has also been added to retrieve the message in any desired locale, not only the platform default one. The messages are also built and translated only when needed, so if an exception is triggered and never displayed, the message will never be built. | luc |

the RadiationSensitive and DragForce interfaces now have an additional SpacecraftState parameter in all their get methods.

added a feature allowing all tests to clear the already built reference objects (frames, time scales, solar system bodies ...) between each tests, thus removing the need to launch tests in separate JVMS.

3 new predefined reference frames have been added in Orekit : MEME, TEME and PEF. They implement the classical paradigm of equinox-based transformations including the IAU-76 precession model, the IAU-80 nutation model and the IAU-82 sidereal time model, with the capability to apply the nutation corrections provided by IERS through the EOP data files for better agreement with the IAU 2000 precession-nutation model. | pascal |

tidal corrections are now available for ITRF and TIRF frames. Both frames are provided in two versions, the standard one with tidal corrections and a stripped down one without tidal corrections. A cache/interpolation mechanism is used to keep the computation cost of tidal correction to a minimum. With this mechanism, the penalty to use tidal correction is slightly above 20% in run time for a transformation between GCRF and ITRF. A raw implementation without this mechanism would lead to a 550% penalty, or even a 1100% penalty if TIRF and ITRF parts were computed independently. | pascal |

The EME2000/J2000 frame was slightly mis-oriented (about 20 milli arcseconds). It really was the GCRF frame. This has been fixed and now both the GCRF and the EME2000/J2000 are available. | luc |
![]() |
Dates in UTC within leap seconds are now displayed correctly (i.e. a 61st second is added to the minute). | luc |
![]() |
Fixed an overflow error in AbsoluteDate that generated an exception when any attempts was made to print dates far away like AbsoluteDate.JULIAN_EPOCH or AbsoluteDate.MODIFIED_JULIAN_EPOCH. Thanks to quinput. | luc |
![]() |
Changed test configuration to always use a new JVM for each test. This prevents some false positive to be generated. | luc |
![]() |
The GeodeticPoint constructor arguments has been reordered to reflect more traditional usage, latitude coming before longitude. | luc |
![]() |
The low accuracy Sun model based on Newcomb theory and the Moon model based on Brown theory have been withdrawn as they are superseded by the support of JPL DE 405 binary ephemerides files. | luc |
![]() |
The ThirdBody abstract class has been removed and its specific method getMu has been moved up into CelestialBody interface and renamed getGM. | luc |
![]() |
Improved external data configuration. The java property is now called orekit.data.path and is a colon or semicolon separated path containing directories or zip archives, themselves containing embedded directories or zip archives and data files. This allows easy roll-out of system-wide configuration data that individual users can override by prepending their own data trees in front of the path. This also allows simple configuration since many data files can be stored in easy to handle zip archives. | luc |
![]() |
Renamed the iers package into data, as it is not IERS specific anymore. Some classes where also moved out of the package and into the frame and time package and their visibility reduced to package only. This improves decoupling and reduces clutter on users by limiting the number of visible classes. | luc |
![]() |
The performance of IAU-2000 precession-nutation model computation has been tremendously improved, using a combined caching and interpolation approach. The simplified model (which was quite inaccurate in version 3.1) has therefore been removed as it was not needed anymore. | luc |
![]() |
The ITRF 2005 frame is now supported instead of the older ITRF 2000 frame. The Earth Orientation Parameters data handling classes have been updated to match this change and read the new file format provided by IERS. | luc |
![]() |
The J2000 frame has been renamed as EME2000 as this name seems to be more widely accepted and reduces confusion with the J2000.0 epoch. The Frame.getJ2000() method is still available, but has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. | luc |
![]() |
Changed TimeScale from base abstract class to interface only. | luc |
![]() |
Renamed some classes for better understanding: ChunkedDate is now DateComponents, ChunkedTime is now TimeComponents, ChunksPair is now DateTimeComponents. The getChunks method from AbsoluteDate as also been renamed into getComponents accordingly. | luc |
![]() |
Added new tutorials. | pascal |
![]() |
Added predefined local orbital frames: the (t, n, w) frame aligned with velocity and the (q, s, w) frame aligned with position. | luc |
![]() |
Added a predefined detector for altitude crossing events. | luc |
![]() |
Added methods to get zenith, nadir, north, south, east and west direction for any GeodeticPoint. | luc |
![]() |
Added spanish localization for error messages. Thanks to Silvia Ríos Bergantiños. | luc |
![]() |
Added norse localization for error messages. Thanks to Espen Bjørntvedt. | luc |
![]() |
Added italian localization for error messages. Thanks to Francesco Coccoluto. | luc |
![]() |
Added support for mean motion first and second derivatives fields in TLE. Thanks to Derek Surka. | luc |
![]() |
Added a way to rebuild the two lines of TLE instances. | luc |
![]() |
Added constructor from already parsed elements for TLE. Thanks to Derek Surka. | luc |
![]() |
Added a method to retrieve a body-centered inertial frame to the CelestialBody interface. As a consequence, thirteen new frames are predefined: Sun, Moon, planets and barycenters provided by JPL binary ephemerides. | luc |
![]() |
Support for the JPL DE 405 and DE 406 binary ephemerides files has been added and a factory class SolarSystemBody uses these files to provide implementations of the CelestialBody interface for Sun, Moon, the eight solar system planets,the Pluto dwarf planet as well as the solar system barycenter and Earth-Moon barycenter points. | luc |
![]() |
The CelestialBody interface now provides velocity as well as position. | luc |
![]() |
A getCalls() method has been added to the NumericalPropagator class to count the number of calls to the differential equations computation method. This helps tuning the underlying integrator settings in order to improve performances. | luc |
![]() |
A lot more classes and interfaces are now serializable, to help users embed instance in their own serializable classes. | luc |
![]() |
Added predefined leap seconds to allow proper turn-key use of the library even without an already configured environment. All known leap seconds at time of writing (2008) are predefined, from 1972-01-01 to 2009-01-01 (the last one has been announced in Bulletin C 36 on 2008-07-04 and is not yet present in the UTC-TAI.history published file) | luc |
![]() |
Improved user-friendliness of the time-scales by changing methods parameters types to more easily understandable ones. | luc |
![]() |
Improved user-friendliness of the AbsoluteDate class by adding several new constructors and methods for common cases. It is in particular now possible to use offsets within a time scale, for example to build a date given as a fractional number of days since a reference date in UTC, explicitly ignoring intermediate leap seconds. | luc |
![]() |
Improved the class handling date/time components: added a constructor to allow building from an offset with respect to a reference epoch, implemented Comparable interface and added equals and hashCode methods. | luc |
![]() |
Improved the class handling date components: added a constructor to allow building from any reference epoch, not only J2000.0 (thus simplifying use of modified julian day), added getMJD() method, added several constants JULIAN_EPOCH, MODIFIED_JULIAN_EPOCH, FIFTIES_EPOCH, GPS_EPOCH, J2000_EPOCH and JAVA_EPOCH. | luc |
![]() |
Added a new time scale: GPSScale. | luc |
