Method Detail

estimate

public KeplerianOrbit estimate(Frame frame,
                               PV pv1,
                               PV pv2,
                               PV pv3)

Give an initial orbit estimation, assuming Keplerian motion. All observations should be from the same location.

Parameters:

frame - measure frame

pv1 - PV measure 1 taken in frame

pv2 - PV measure 2 taken in frame

pv3 - PV measure 3 taken in frame

Returns:

an initial orbit estimation

Give an initial orbit estimation, assuming Keplerian motion. All observations should be from the same location.

Parameters:

frame - measure frame

r1 - position 1 measured in frame

date1 - date of measure 1

r2 - position 2 measured in frame

date2 - date of measure 2

r3 - position 3 measured in frame

date3 - date of measure 3

Returns:

an initial orbit estimation
