/**
 * Class using a Hermite interpolator to interpolate orbits.
 * <p>
 * Depending on given sample orbit type, the interpolation may differ :
 * <ul>
 *    <li>For Keplerian, Circular and Equinoctial orbits, the interpolated instance is created by polynomial Hermite
 *    interpolation, using derivatives when available. </li>
 *    <li>For Cartesian orbits, the interpolated instance is created using the cartesian derivatives filter given at
 *    instance construction. Hence, it will fall back to Lagrange interpolation if this instance has been designed to not
 *    use derivatives.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * In any case, it should be used only with small number of interpolation points (about 10-20 points) in order to avoid
 * <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge%27s_phenomenon">Runge's phenomenon</a> and numerical problems
 * (including NaN appearing).
