Package org.orekit.attitudes

Class SpinStabilized

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.attitudes.SpinStabilized

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttitudeProvider, AttitudeProviderModifier, EventDetectorsProvider

public class SpinStabilized
extends Object
implements AttitudeProviderModifier

This class handles a spin stabilized attitude provider.

Spin stabilized laws are handled as wrappers for an underlying non-rotating law. This underlying law is typically an instance of CelestialBodyPointed with the pointing axis equal to the rotation axis, but can in fact be anything.

Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.
