Package org.orekit.gnss.attitude

Class GPSBlockIIA

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    AttitudeProvider, GNSSAttitudeProvider, EventDetectorsProvider
    public class GPSBlockIIA
extends Object
    Attitude providers for GPS block IIA navigation satellites.

    This class is based on the May 2017 version of J. Kouba eclips.f subroutine available at IGS Analysis Center Coordinator site. The eclips.f code itself is not used ; its hard-coded data are used and its low level models are used, but the structure of the code and the API have been completely rewritten.

    9.2
