Method Detail

propagateInEcef

public PVCoordinates propagateInEcef(AbsoluteDate date)

Gets the PVCoordinates of the GPS SV in ECEF frame.

The algorithm is defined at Table 20-IV from IS-GPS-200 document, with automatic differentiation added to compute velocity and acceleration.

Parameters:

date - the computation date

Returns:

the GPS SV PVCoordinates in ECEF frame

getMU

public static double getMU()

Get the Earth gravity coefficient used for GPS propagation.

Returns:

the Earth gravity coefficient.

getGPSOrbitalElements

public GPSOrbitalElements getGPSOrbitalElements()

Gets the underlying GPS orbital elements.

Returns:

the underlying GPS orbital elements

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 GPS orbits according to the GPS Interface Specification.

This frame is assimilated to the WGS84 ECEF.

Returns:

the 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)

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

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

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
