Package org.orekit.forces.gravity

This package provides all gravity-related forces.

The force models include an implementation of spherical harmonics attraction model: Holmes-Featherstone.

The force models also include third body attraction, both solid tides and ocean tides, both with or without pole tide and post-Newtonian correction force due to general relativity.
