All Implemented Interfaces:

TimeInterpolator<SpacecraftState>

public class SpacecraftStateInterpolator
extends AbstractTimeInterpolator<SpacecraftState>

Generic class for spacecraft state interpolator.

The user can specify what interpolator to use for each attribute of the spacecraft state. However, at least one interpolator for either orbit or absolute position-velocity-acceleration is needed. All the other interpolators can be left to null if the user do not want to interpolate these values.

Constructor Detail

SpacecraftStateInterpolator

public SpacecraftStateInterpolator(Frame outputFrame)

Simplest constructor to create a default Hermite interpolator for every spacecraft state field.

The interpolators will have the following configuration :

• Same frame for coordinates and attitude
• Default number of interpolation points of DEFAULT_INTERPOLATION_POINTS
• Default extrapolation threshold of DEFAULT_EXTRAPOLATION_THRESHOLD_SEC s
• Use of position and two time derivatives for absolute position-velocity-acceleration coordinates interpolation
• Use of angular and first time derivative for attitude interpolation

As this implementation of interpolation is polynomial, it should be used only with small number of interpolation points (about 10-20 points) in order to avoid Runge's phenomenon and numerical problems (including NaN appearing).

BEWARE: output frame must be inertial if this instance is going to interpolate between tabulated spacecraft states defined by orbit, will throw an error otherwise.

Parameters:

outputFrame - output frame

Method Detail

checkSampleAndInterpolatorConsistency

public static void checkSampleAndInterpolatorConsistency(List<SpacecraftState> sample,
                                                         boolean orbitInterpolatorIsPresent,
                                                         boolean absPVInterpolatorIsPresent)

Check that an interpolator exist for given sample state definition.

Parameters:

sample - sample (non empty)

orbitInterpolatorIsPresent - flag defining if an orbit interpolator has been defined for this instance

absPVInterpolatorIsPresent - flag defining if an absolute position-velocity-acceleration interpolator has been defined for this instance

Throws:

OrekitIllegalArgumentException - if there is no defined interpolator for given sample spacecraft state definition type

checkStatesDefinitionsConsistency

public static void checkStatesDefinitionsConsistency(List<SpacecraftState> states)

Check that all state are either orbit defined or based on absolute position-velocity-acceleration.

Parameters:

states - spacecraft state sample

interpolate

public SpacecraftState interpolate(AbsoluteDate interpolationDate,
                                   Collection<SpacecraftState> sample)

Get an interpolated instance..

The additional states that are interpolated are the ones already present in the first neighbor instance. The sample instances must therefore have at least the same additional states as this neighbor instance. They may have more additional states, but the extra ones will be ignored.

All the sample instances must be based on similar trajectory data, i.e. they must either all be based on orbits or all be based on absolute position-velocity-acceleration. Any inconsistency will trigger an OrekitIllegalArgumentException.

Specified by:

interpolate in interface TimeInterpolator<SpacecraftState>

Overrides:

interpolate in class AbstractTimeInterpolator<SpacecraftState>

Parameters:

interpolationDate - interpolation date

sample - time stamped sample

Returns:

a new instance, interpolated at specified date

Throws:

OrekitIllegalArgumentException - if there are states defined by orbits and absolute position-velocity-acceleration coordinates

OrekitIllegalArgumentException - if there is no defined interpolator for given sample spacecraft state definition type

getSubInterpolators

public List<TimeInterpolator<? extends TimeStamped>> getSubInterpolators()

Get all lowest level interpolators implemented by this instance, otherwise return a list with this instance only.

An example would be the spacecraft state interpolator which can use different interpolators for each of its attributes (orbit, absolute position-velocity-acceleration coordinates, mass...). In this case, it would return the list of all of these interpolators (or possibly all of their sub-interpolators if they were to use multiple interpolators themselves).

Specified by:

getSubInterpolators in interface TimeInterpolator<SpacecraftState>

Overrides:

getSubInterpolators in class AbstractTimeInterpolator<SpacecraftState>

Returns:

list of interpolators

interpolate

protected SpacecraftState interpolate(AbstractTimeInterpolator.InterpolationData interpolationData)
