All Implemented Interfaces:

ForceModel, EventDetectorsProvider, ParameterDriversProvider

public class DeSitterRelativity
extends Object
implements ForceModel

De Sitter post-Newtonian correction force due to general relativity.

Constructor Detail

DeSitterRelativity

@DefaultDataContext
public DeSitterRelativity()

Constructor.

It uses the DataContext.getDefault() to initialize the celestial bodies.

DeSitterRelativity

public DeSitterRelativity(CelestialBody earth,
                          CelestialBody sun)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

earth - the Earth

sun - the Sun

Method Detail

getSun

public CelestialBody getSun()

Get the sun model used to compute De Sitter effect.

Returns:

the sun model

getEarth

public CelestialBody getEarth()

Get the Earth model used to compute De Sitter effect.

Returns:

the earth model

dependsOnPositionOnly

public boolean dependsOnPositionOnly()

Check if force model depends on position only at a given, fixed date.

Specified by:

dependsOnPositionOnly in interface ForceModel

Returns:

true if force model depends on position only, false if it depends on velocity, either directly or due to a dependency on attitude

acceleration

public Vector3D acceleration(SpacecraftState s,
                             double[] parameters)

Specified by:

acceleration in interface ForceModel

Parameters:

s - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

parameters - values of the force model parameters at state date, only 1 value for each parameterDriver

Returns:

acceleration in same frame as state
