AdapterPropagator.DifferentialEffect

public class SmallManeuverAnalyticalModel
extends Object
implements AdapterPropagator.DifferentialEffect

Analytical model for small maneuvers.

The aim of this model is to compute quickly the effect at date t₁ of a small maneuver performed at an earlier date t₀. Both the direct effect of the maneuver and the Jacobian of this effect with respect to maneuver parameters are available.

These effect are computed analytically using two Jacobian matrices:

1. J₀: Jacobian of Keplerian or equinoctial elements with respect to Cartesian parameters at date t₀ allows to compute maneuver effect as a change in orbital elements at maneuver date t₀,
2. J_1/0: Jacobian of Keplerian or equinoctial elements at date t₁ with respect to Keplerian or equinoctial elements at date t₀ allows to propagate the change in orbital elements to final date t₁.

The second Jacobian, J_1/0, is computed using a simple Keplerian model, i.e. it is the identity except for the mean motion row which also includes an off-diagonal element due to semi-major axis change.

The orbital elements change at date t₁ can be added to orbital elements extracted from state, and the final elements taking account the changes are then converted back to appropriate type, which may be different from Keplerian or equinoctial elements.

Note that this model takes only Keplerian effects into account. This means that using only this class to compute an inclination maneuver in Low Earth Orbit will not change ascending node drift rate despite inclination has changed (the same would be true for a semi-major axis change of course). In order to take this drift into account, an instance of J2DifferentialEffect must be used together with an instance of this class.

                        double[][] jacobian)

Compute the Jacobian of the orbit with respect to maneuver parameters.

The Jacobian matrix is a 6x4 matrix. Element jacobian[i][j] corresponds to the partial derivative of orbital parameter i with respect to maneuver parameter j. The rows order is the same order as used in Orbit.getJacobianWrtCartesian method. Columns (0, 1, 2) correspond to the velocity increment coordinates (ΔV_x, ΔV_y, ΔV_z) in the inertial frame returned by getInertialFrame(), and column 3 corresponds to the maneuver date t₀.

Parameters:

orbit1 - original orbit at t₁, without maneuver

positionAngle - type of the position angle to use

jacobian - placeholder 6x4 (or larger) matrix to be filled with the Jacobian, if matrix is larger than 6x4, only the 6x4 upper left corner will be modified
