Package org.orekit.attitudes

Class TargetPointing

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.attitudes.GroundPointing

org.orekit.attitudes.TargetPointing

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttitudeProvider, AttitudeRotationModel, EventDetectorsProvider, ParameterDriversProvider

public class TargetPointing
extends GroundPointing

This class handles target pointing attitude provider.

This class represents the attitude provider where the satellite z axis is pointing to a ground point target.

The target position is defined in a body frame specified by the user. It is important to make sure this frame is consistent.

The object TargetPointing is guaranteed to be immutable.
