Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	handleStep(List<OrekitStepInterpolator> interpolators, boolean isLast)	Handle the current step.
default void	init(List<SpacecraftState> states0, AbsoluteDate t)	Initialize step handler at the start of a propagation.

Method Detail

init

default void init(List<SpacecraftState> states0,
                  AbsoluteDate t)
           throws OrekitException

Initialize step handler at the start of a propagation.

This method is called once at the start of the propagation. It may be used by the step handler to initialize some internal data if needed.

The default method does nothing

Parameters:

states0 - initial states, one for each satellite in the same order used to build the multi-sat propagator.

t - target time for the integration

Throws:

OrekitException - if step handler cannot be initialized

handleStep

void handleStep(List<OrekitStepInterpolator> interpolators,
                boolean isLast)
         throws OrekitException

Handle the current step.

When called by PropagatorsParallelizer, all interpolators have the same time range.

Parameters:

interpolators - interpolators set up for the current step in the same order used to build the multi-sat propagator

isLast - if true, this is the last integration step

Throws:

OrekitException - if step cannot be handled
