      • CLOCK_OFFSET_PREFIX

        public static final String CLOCK_OFFSET_PREFIX
        Prefix for clock offset parameter driver, the propagator index will be appended to it.

        public ObservableSatellite​(int propagatorIndex)
        Simple constructor.
        Parameters:
        propagatorIndex - index of the propagator related to this satellite
    • Method Detail

      • getPropagatorIndex

        public int getPropagatorIndex()
        Get the index of the propagator related to this satellite.
        Returns:
        index of the propagator related to this satellite
      • getClockOffsetDriver

        public ParameterDriver getClockOffsetDriver()
        Get the clock offset parameter driver.

        The offset value is defined as the value in seconds that must be subtracted from the satellite clock reading of time to compute the real physical date. The offset is therefore negative if the satellite clock is slow and positive if it is fast.

        Returns:
        clock offset parameter driver
