Class FieldSGP4<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - type of the field elements
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    FieldPropagator<T>, FieldPVCoordinatesProvider<T>, ParameterDriversProvider

    public class FieldSGP4<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
    extends FieldTLEPropagator<T>
    This class contains methods to compute propagated coordinates with the SGP4 model.

    The user should not bother in this class since it is handled internaly by the TLEPropagator.

    This implementation is largely inspired from the paper and source code Revisiting Spacetrack Report #3 and is fully compliant with its results and tests cases.
