Interface BoundedPropagator

  • All Superinterfaces:
    Propagator, PVCoordinatesProvider
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    AggregateBoundedPropagator, Ephemeris, IntegratedEphemeris

    public interface BoundedPropagator
    extends Propagator
    This interface is intended for ephemerides valid only during a time range.

    This interface provides a mean to retrieve orbital parameters at any time within a given range. It should be implemented by orbit readers based on external data files and by continuous models built after numerical integration has been completed and dense output data as been gathered.
