Package org.orekit.propagation.sampling Description

This package provides interfaces and classes dealing with step handling during propagation. It is used when a Propagator is run in master mode. In this mode, the (master) propagator integration loop calls (slave) application callback methods at each finalized step. The callback methods must implement the OrekitFixedStepHandler interface for fixed step sampling or the OrekitStepHandler interface for variable step sampling.

The low level interfaces and classes (OrekitXxx) are heavily based on classes with similar names in the ode package from the commons math library. The changes are mainly adaptations of the signatures to space dynamics:

• the type of dependent variable t has been changed from double to AbsoluteDate
• the type of state vector y has been changed from double[] to SpacecraftState
