Class IntegratedEphemeris

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.AbstractPropagator

org.orekit.propagation.analytical.AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

org.orekit.propagation.integration.IntegratedEphemeris

All Implemented Interfaces:

BoundedPropagator, Propagator, PVCoordinatesProvider

public class IntegratedEphemeris
extends AbstractAnalyticalPropagator
implements BoundedPropagator

This class stores sequentially generated orbital parameters for later retrieval.

Instances of this class are built automatically when the getEphemerisGenerator method has been called. They are created when propagation is over. Random access to any intermediate state of the orbit throughout the propagation range is possible afterwards through this object.

A typical use case is for numerically integrated orbits, which can be used by algorithms that need to wander around according to their own algorithm without cumbersome tight links with the integrator.

As this class implements the Propagator interface, it can itself be used in batch mode to build another instance of the same type. This is however not recommended since it would be a waste of resources.

Note that this class stores all intermediate states along with interpolation models, so it may be memory intensive.

minDate - first date of the range

maxDate - last date of the range

mapper - mapper between raw double components and spacecraft state

type - type of orbit to output (mean or osculating)

Method Detail

basicPropagate

protected SpacecraftState basicPropagate(AbsoluteDate date)

Propagate an orbit without any fancy features.

This method is similar in spirit to the AbstractAnalyticalPropagator.propagate(org.orekit.time.AbsoluteDate, org.orekit.time.AbsoluteDate) method, except that it does not call any handler during propagation, nor any discrete events, not additional states. It always stop exactly at the specified date.

Overrides:

basicPropagate in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for propagation

Returns:

state at specified date

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

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

getPVCoordinates

public TimeStampedPVCoordinates getPVCoordinates(AbsoluteDate date,
                                                 Frame frame)

Get the PVCoordinates of the body in the selected frame.

Specified by:

getPVCoordinates in interface PVCoordinatesProvider

Overrides:

getPVCoordinates in class AbstractPropagator

Parameters:

date - current date

frame - the frame where to define the position

Returns:

time-stamped position/velocity of the body (m and m/s)

getMinDate

public AbsoluteDate getMinDate()

Get the first date of the range.

Specified by:

getMinDate in interface BoundedPropagator

Returns:

the first date of the range

getMaxDate

public AbsoluteDate getMaxDate()

Get the last date of the range.

Specified by:

getMaxDate in interface BoundedPropagator

Returns:

the last date of the range

getFrame

public Frame getFrame()

Description copied from class: AbstractPropagator

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
