Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<T extends RealFieldElement<T>> FieldAttitude<T>	getAttitude(FieldPVCoordinatesProvider<T> pvProv, FieldAbsoluteDate<T> date, Frame frame)	Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.
Attitude	getAttitude(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv, AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame)	Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

Method Detail

getAttitude

Attitude getAttitude(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv,
                     AbsoluteDate date,
                     Frame frame)
              throws OrekitException

Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

Parameters:

pvProv - local position-velocity provider around current date

date - current date

frame - reference frame from which attitude is computed

Returns:

attitude attitude on the specified date and position-velocity state

Throws:

OrekitException - if attitude cannot be computed

getAttitude

<T extends RealFieldElement<T>> FieldAttitude<T> getAttitude(FieldPVCoordinatesProvider<T> pvProv,
                                                             FieldAbsoluteDate<T> date,
                                                             Frame frame)
                                                      throws OrekitException
