Constructor Detail

TLEPropagatorBuilder

public TLEPropagatorBuilder(TLE templateTLE,
                            PositionAngle positionAngle,
                            double positionScale)
                     throws OrekitException

Build a new instance.

The template TLE is used as a model to create initial orbit. It defines the inertial frame, the central attraction coefficient, orbit type, satellite number, classification, .... and is also used together with the positionScale to convert from the normalized parameters used by the callers of this builder to the real orbital parameters.

Parameters:

templateTLE - reference TLE from which real orbits will be built

positionAngle - position angle type to use

positionScale - scaling factor used for orbital parameters normalization (typically set to the expected standard deviation of the position)

Throws:

OrekitException - if the TEME frame cannot be set

Since:

7.1

Method Detail

buildPropagator

public Propagator buildPropagator(double[] normalizedParameters)
                           throws OrekitException

Build a propagator.

Parameters:

normalizedParameters - normalized values for the selected parameters

Returns:

an initialized propagator

Throws:

OrekitException - if propagator cannot be build
