AngularCoordinates (ORbit Extrapolation KIT 9.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.orekit.utils.AngularCoordinates

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, TimeShiftable<AngularCoordinates>

Direct Known Subclasses:

TimeStampedAngularCoordinates
```
public class AngularCoordinates
extends Object
implements TimeShiftable<AngularCoordinates>, Serializable
```
Simple container for rotation/rotation rate/rotation acceleration triplets.
The state can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on an approximate solution of the fixed acceleration motion. It is not intended as a replacement for proper attitude propagation but should be sufficient for either small time shifts or coarse accuracy.

This class is the angular counterpart to PVCoordinates.

Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

```
    Build the rotation that transforms a pair of pv coordinates into another one.
    WARNING! This method requires much more stringent assumptions on its parameters than the similar constructor from the Rotation class. As far as the Rotation constructor is concerned, the v\u2082 vector from the second pair can be slightly misaligned. The Rotation constructor will compensate for this misalignment and create a rotation that ensure v\u2081 = r(u\u2081) and v\u2082 \u2208 plane (r(u\u2081), r(u\u2082)). THIS IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE IN THIS CLASS! As derivatives are involved and must be preserved, this constructor works only if the two pairs are fully consistent, i.e. if a rotation exists that fulfill all the requirements: v\u2081 = r(u\u2081), v\u2082 = r(u\u2082), dv\u2081/dt = dr(u\u2081)/dt, dv\u2082/dt = dr(u\u2082)/dt, d²v\u2081/dt² = d²r(u\u2081)/dt², d²v\u2082/dt² = d²r(u\u2082)/dt².
    
    Parameters:
    
    u1 - first vector of the origin pair
    
    u2 - second vector of the origin pair
    
    v1 - desired image of u1 by the rotation
    
    v2 - desired image of u2 by the rotation
    
    tolerance - relative tolerance factor used to check singularities
    
    Throws:
    
    OrekitException - if the vectors are inconsistent for the rotation to be found (null, aligned, ...)
  - AngularCoordinates
```
public AngularCoordinates(PVCoordinates u,
                          PVCoordinates v)
                   throws OrekitException
```
    Build one of the rotations that transform one pv coordinates into another one.
    Except for a possible scale factor, if the instance were applied to the vector u it will produce the vector v. There is an infinite number of such rotations, this constructor choose the one with the smallest associated angle (i.e. the one whose axis is orthogonal to the (u, v) plane). If u and v are collinear, an arbitrary rotation axis is chosen.
    
    Parameters:
    
    u - origin vector
    
    v - desired image of u by the rotation
    
    Throws:
    
    OrekitException - if the vectors components cannot be converted to DerivativeStructure with proper order
  - AngularCoordinates
```
public AngularCoordinates(FieldRotation<DerivativeStructure> r)
```
    Builds a AngularCoordinates from a FieldRotation<DerivativeStructure>.
    The rotation components must have time as their only derivation parameter and have consistent derivation orders.
    
    Parameters:
    
    r - rotation with time-derivatives embedded within the coordinates
- Method Detail
  - toDerivativeStructureRotation
```
public FieldRotation<DerivativeStructure> toDerivativeStructureRotation(int order)
                                                                 throws OrekitException
```
    Transform the instance to a FieldRotation<DerivativeStructure>.
    The DerivativeStructure coordinates correspond to time-derivatives up to the user-specified order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    order - derivation order for the vector components
    
    Returns:
    
    rotation with time-derivatives embedded within the coordinates
    
    Throws:
    
    OrekitException - if the user specified order is too large
  - estimateRate
```
public static Vector3D estimateRate(Rotation start,
                                    Rotation end,
                                    double dt)
```
    Estimate rotation rate between two orientations.
    Estimation is based on a simple fixed rate rotation during the time interval between the two orientations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - start orientation
    
    end - end orientation
    
    dt - time elapsed between the dates of the two orientations
    
    Returns:
    
    rotation rate allowing to go from start to end orientations
  - revert
```
public AngularCoordinates revert()
```
    Revert a rotation/rotation rate/ rotation acceleration triplet. Build a triplet which reverse the effect of another triplet.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new triplet whose effect is the reverse of the effect of the instance
  - shiftedBy
```
public AngularCoordinates shiftedBy(double dt)
```
    Get a time-shifted state.
    The state can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on an approximate solution of the fixed acceleration motion. It is not intended as a replacement for proper attitude propagation but should be sufficient for either small time shifts or coarse accuracy.
    
    Specified by:
    
    shiftedBy in interface TimeShiftable<AngularCoordinates>
    
    Parameters:
    
    dt - time shift in seconds
    
    Returns:
    
    a new state, shifted with respect to the instance (which is immutable)
  - getRotation
```
public Rotation getRotation()
```
    Get the rotation.
    
    Returns:
    
    the rotation.
  - getRotationRate
```
public Vector3D getRotationRate()
```
    Get the rotation rate.
    
    Returns:
    
    the rotation rate vector Ω (rad/s).
  - getRotationAcceleration
```
public Vector3D getRotationAcceleration()
```
    Get the rotation acceleration.
    
    Returns:
    
    the rotation acceleration vector dΩ/dt (rad²/s²).
  - addOffset
```
public AngularCoordinates addOffset(AngularCoordinates offset)
```
    Add an offset from the instance.
    We consider here that the offset rotation is applied first and the instance is applied afterward. Note that angular coordinates do not commute under this operation, i.e. a.addOffset(b) and b.addOffset(a) lead to different results in most cases.
    
    The two methods addOffset and subtractOffset are designed so that round trip applications are possible. This means that both ac1.subtractOffset(ac2).addOffset(ac2) and ac1.addOffset(ac2).subtractOffset(ac2) return angular coordinates equal to ac1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - offset to subtract
    
    Returns:
    
    new instance, with offset subtracted
    
    See Also:
    
    subtractOffset(AngularCoordinates)
  - subtractOffset
```
public AngularCoordinates subtractOffset(AngularCoordinates offset)
```
    Subtract an offset from the instance.
    We consider here that the offset rotation is applied first and the instance is applied afterward. Note that angular coordinates do not commute under this operation, i.e. a.subtractOffset(b) and b.subtractOffset(a) lead to different results in most cases.
    
    The two methods addOffset and subtractOffset are designed so that round trip applications are possible. This means that both ac1.subtractOffset(ac2).addOffset(ac2) and ac1.addOffset(ac2).subtractOffset(ac2) return angular coordinates equal to ac1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - offset to subtract
