Method Detail

getECI

public Frame getECI()

Gets the Earth Centered Inertial frame used to propagate the orbit.

Returns:

the ECI frame

getECEF

public Frame getECEF()

Gets the Earth Centered Earth Fixed frame used to propagate GNSS orbits according to the Interface Control Document.

Returns:

the ECEF frame

getMU

public double getMU()

Gets the Earth gravity coefficient used for GNSS propagation.

Returns:

the Earth gravity coefficient.

getOrbitalElements

public GNSSOrbitalElements getOrbitalElements()

Get the underlying GNSS orbital elements.

Returns:

the underlying GNSS orbital elements

propagateOrbit

protected Orbit propagateOrbit(AbsoluteDate date)

Extrapolate an orbit up to a specific target date.

Specified by:

propagateOrbit in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for the orbit

Returns:

extrapolated parameters

propagateInEcef

public PVCoordinates propagateInEcef(AbsoluteDate date)

Gets the PVCoordinates of the GNSS SV in ECEF frame.

The algorithm uses automatic differentiation to compute velocity and acceleration.

Parameters:

date - the computation date

Returns:

the GNSS SV PVCoordinates in ECEF frame

getFrame

public Frame getFrame()

Get the frame in which the orbit is propagated.

The propagation frame is the definition frame of the initial state, so this method should be called after this state has been set, otherwise it may return null.

Specified by:

getFrame in interface Propagator

Overrides:

getFrame in class AbstractPropagator

Returns:

frame in which the orbit is propagated

See Also:

Propagator.resetInitialState(SpacecraftState)

getMass

protected double getMass(AbsoluteDate date)

Get the mass.

Specified by:

getMass in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for the orbit

Returns:

mass mass

resetInitialState

public void resetInitialState(SpacecraftState state)

Reset the propagator initial state.

Specified by:

resetInitialState in interface Propagator

Overrides:

resetInitialState in class AbstractPropagator

Parameters:

state - new initial state to consider

resetIntermediateState

protected void resetIntermediateState(SpacecraftState state,
                                      boolean forward)

Reset an intermediate state.

Specified by:

resetIntermediateState in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

state - new intermediate state to consider

forward - if true, the intermediate state is valid for propagations after itself
