Constructor Detail

DSSTThirdBody

public DSSTThirdBody(CelestialBody body)

Complete constructor.

Parameters:

body - the 3rd body to consider

See Also:

CelestialBodyFactory

Method Detail

getBody

public CelestialBody getBody()

Get third body.

Returns:

third body

initialize

public List<ShortPeriodTerms> initialize(AuxiliaryElements aux,
                                         boolean meanOnly)

Computes the highest power of the eccentricity and the highest power of a/R3 to appear in the truncated analytical power series expansion.

This method computes the upper value for the 3rd body potential and determines the maximal powers for the eccentricity and a/R3 producing potential terms bigger than a defined tolerance.

Specified by:

initialize in interface DSSTForceModel

Parameters:

aux - auxiliary elements related to the current orbit

meanOnly - only mean elements will be used for the propagation

Returns:

a list of objects that will hold short period terms (the objects are also retained by the force model, which will update them during propagation)

initializeStep

public void initializeStep(AuxiliaryElements aux)

Performs initialization at each integration step for the current force model.

This method aims at being called before mean elements rates computation.

Specified by:

initializeStep in interface DSSTForceModel

Parameters:

aux - auxiliary elements related to the current orbit

getMeanElementRate

public double[] getMeanElementRate(SpacecraftState currentState)

Computes the mean equinoctial elements rates da_i / dt.

Specified by:

getMeanElementRate in interface DSSTForceModel

Parameters:

currentState - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

the mean element rates dai/dt

updateShortPeriodTerms

public void updateShortPeriodTerms(SpacecraftState... meanStates)

Update the short period terms.

The short period terms that will be updated are the ones that were returned during the call to DSSTForceModel.initialize(AuxiliaryElements, boolean).

Specified by:

updateShortPeriodTerms in interface DSSTForceModel

Parameters:

meanStates - mean states information: date, kinematics, attitude

getEventsDetectors

public EventDetector[] getEventsDetectors()

Get the discrete events related to the model.

Specified by:

getEventsDetectors in interface DSSTForceModel

Returns:

array of events detectors or null if the model is not related to any discrete events

registerAttitudeProvider

public void registerAttitudeProvider(AttitudeProvider provider)

Register an attitude provider.

Register an attitude provider that can be used by the force model.

Specified by:

registerAttitudeProvider in interface DSSTForceModel

Parameters:

provider - the AttitudeProvider
