Class FieldAttitude<T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.attitudes.FieldAttitude<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements

All Implemented Interfaces:

FieldTimeShiftable<FieldAttitude<T>,T>, FieldTimeStamped<T>, TimeShiftable<FieldAttitude<T>>

public class FieldAttitude<T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends Object
implements FieldTimeStamped<T>, FieldTimeShiftable<FieldAttitude<T>,T>

This class handles attitude definition at a given date.

This class represents the rotation between a reference frame and the satellite frame, as well as the spin of the satellite (axis and rotation rate).

The state can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on a linear extrapolation for attitude taking the spin rate into account. It is not intended as a replacement for proper attitude propagation but should be sufficient for either small time shifts or coarse accuracy.

The instance Attitude is guaranteed to be immutable.

Method Detail

shiftedBy

public FieldAttitude<T> shiftedBy(double dt)

Get a time-shifted attitude.

The state can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on a linear extrapolation for attitude taking the spin rate into account. It is not intended as a replacement for proper attitude propagation but should be sufficient for either small time shifts or coarse accuracy.

Specified by:

shiftedBy in interface TimeShiftable<FieldAttitude<T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>>

Parameters:

dt - time shift in seconds

Returns:

a new attitude, shifted with respect to the instance (which is immutable)

shiftedBy

public FieldAttitude<T> shiftedBy(T dt)

Get a time-shifted attitude.

The state can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on a linear extrapolation for attitude taking the spin rate into account. It is not intended as a replacement for proper attitude propagation but should be sufficient for either small time shifts or coarse accuracy.

Specified by:

shiftedBy in interface FieldTimeShiftable<FieldAttitude<T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

dt - time shift in seconds

Returns:

a new attitude, shifted with respect to the instance (which is immutable)

withReferenceFrame

public FieldAttitude<T> withReferenceFrame(Frame newReferenceFrame)

Get a similar attitude with a specific reference frame.

If the instance reference frame is already the specified one, the instance itself is returned without any object creation. Otherwise, a new instance will be created with the specified reference frame. In this case, the required intermediate rotation and spin between the specified and the original reference frame will be inserted.

Parameters:

newReferenceFrame - desired reference frame for attitude

Returns:

an attitude that has the same orientation and motion as the instance, but guaranteed to have the specified reference frame

getDate

public FieldAbsoluteDate<T> getDate()

Get the date of attitude parameters.

Specified by:

getDate in interface FieldTimeStamped<T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Returns:

date of the attitude parameters

public Frame getReferenceFrame()

Get the reference frame.

Returns:
