/** This classes manages a sequence of different attitude providers that are activated
* in turn according to switching events.
* <p>Only one attitude provider in the sequence is in an active state. When one of
* the switch event associated with the active provider occurs, the active provider becomes
* the one specified with the event. A simple example is a provider for the sun lighted part
* of the orbit and another provider for the eclipse time. When the sun lighted provider is active,
* the eclipse entry event is checked and when it occurs the eclipse provider is activated.
* When the eclipse provider is active, the eclipse exit event is checked and when it occurs
* the sun lighted provider is activated again. This sequence is a simple loop.</p>
* <p>An active attitude provider may have several switch events and next provider settings, leading
* to different activation patterns depending on which events are triggered first. An example
* of this feature is handling switches to safe mode if some contingency condition is met, in
* addition to the nominal switches that correspond to proper operations. Another example
* is handling of maneuver mode.
* <p>
* Note that this attitude provider is stateful, it keeps in memory the sequence of active
* underlying providers with their switch dates and the transitions from one provider to
* the other. This implies that this provider should <em>not</em> be shared among different
* propagators at the same time, each propagator should use its own instance of this provider.
* <p>
* The sequence kept in memory is reset when {@link #resetActiveProvider(AttitudeProvider)}
* is called, and only the specify provider is kept. The sequence is also partially
* reset each time a propagation starts. If a new propagation is started after a first
* propagation has been run, all the already computed switches that occur after propagation
* start for forward propagation or before propagation start for backward propagation will
* be erased. New switches will be computed and applied properly according to the new
* propagation settings. The already computed switches that are not in covered are kept
* in memory. This implies that if a propagation is interrupted and restarted in the
* same direction, then attitude switches will remain in place, ensuring that even if the
* interruption occurred in the middle of an attitude transition the second propagation will
* properly complete the transition that was started by the first propagator.

/** Add a switching condition between two attitude providers.
* <p>
* The {@code past} and {@code future} attitude providers are defined with regard
* to the natural flow of time. This means that if the propagation is forward, the
* propagator will switch from {@code past} provider to {@code future} provider at
* event occurrence, but if the propagation is backward, the propagator will switch
* from {@code future} provider to {@code past} provider at event occurrence. The
* transition between the two attitude laws is not instantaneous, the switch event
* defines the start of the transition (i.e. when leaving the {@code past} attitude
* law and entering the interpolated transition law). The end of the transition
* (i.e. when leaving the interpolating transition law and entering the {@code future}
* attitude law) occurs at switch time plus {@code transitionTime}.
* </p>
* <p>
* An attitude provider may have several different switch events associated to
* it. Depending on which event is triggered, the appropriate provider is
* switched to.
* </p>
* <p>
* The switch events specified here must <em>not</em> be registered to the
* propagator directly. The proper way to register these events is to
* call {@link #registerSwitchEvents(Propagator)} once after all switching
* conditions have been set up. The reason for this is that the events will
* be wrapped before being registered.
* </p>
* <p>
* If the underlying detector has an event handler associated to it, this handler
* will be triggered (i.e. its {@link org.orekit.propagation.events.handlers.EventHandler#eventOccurred(SpacecraftState,
* EventDetector, boolean) eventOccurred} method will be called), <em>regardless</em>
* of the event really triggering an attitude switch or not. As an example, if an
* eclipse detector is used to switch from day to night attitude mode when entering
* eclipse, with {@code switchOnIncrease} set to {@code false} and {@code switchOnDecrease}
* set to {@code true}. Then a handler set directly at eclipse detector level would
* be triggered at both eclipse entry and eclipse exit, but attitude switch would
* occur <em>only</em> at eclipse entry. Note that for the sake of symmetry, the
* transition start and end dates should match for both forward and backward propagation.
* This implies that for backward propagation, we have to compensate for the {@code
* transitionTime} when looking for the event. An unfortunate consequence is that the
* {@link org.orekit.propagation.events.handlers.EventHandler#eventOccurred(SpacecraftState, EventDetector, boolean)
* eventOccurred} method may appear to be called out of sync with respect to the
* propagation (it will be called when propagator reaches transition end, despite it
* refers to transition start, as per {@code transitionTime} compensation), and if the
* method returns {@link Action#STOP}, it will stop at the end of the
* transition instead of at the start. For these reasons, it is not recommended to
* set up an event handler for events that are used to switch attitude. If an event
* handler is needed for other purposes, a second handler should be registered to
* the propagator rather than relying on the side effects of attitude switches.
* </p>
* <p>
* The smoothness of the transition between past and future attitude laws can be tuned
* using the {@code transitionTime} and {@code transitionFilter} parameters. The {@code
* transitionTime} parameter specifies how much time is spent to switch from one law to
* the other law. It should be larger than the event {@link EventDetector#getThreshold()
* convergence threshold} in order to ensure attitude continuity. The {@code
* transitionFilter} parameter specifies the attitude time derivatives that should match
* at the boundaries between past attitude law and transition law on one side, and
* between transition law and future law on the other side.
* {@link AngularDerivativesFilter#USE_R} means only the rotation should be identical,
* {@link AngularDerivativesFilter#USE_RR} means both rotation and rotation rate
* should be identical, {@link AngularDerivativesFilter#USE_RRA} means both rotation,
* rotation rate and rotation acceleration should be identical. During the transition,
* the attitude law is computed by interpolating between past attitude law at switch time
* and future attitude law at current intermediate time.
