public class FieldEquinoctialOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldOrbit<T>
implements PositionAngleBased

This class handles equinoctial orbital parameters, which can support both circular and equatorial orbits.

The parameters used internally are the equinoctial elements which can be related to Keplerian elements as follows:

     a
     ex = e cos(ω + Ω)
     ey = e sin(ω + Ω)
     hx = tan(i/2) cos(Ω)
     hy = tan(i/2) sin(Ω)
     lv = v + ω + Ω
   

where ω stands for the Perigee Argument and Ω stands for the Right Ascension of the Ascending Node.

The conversion equations from and to Keplerian elements given above hold only when both sides are unambiguously defined, i.e. when orbit is neither equatorial nor circular. When orbit is either equatorial or circular, the equinoctial parameters are still unambiguously defined whereas some Keplerian elements (more precisely ω and Ω) become ambiguous. For this reason, equinoctial parameters are the recommended way to represent orbits. Note however than the present implementation does not handle non-elliptical cases.

The instance EquinoctialOrbit is guaranteed to be immutable.

Since:

9.0

protected T[][] computeJacobianEccentricWrtCartesian()

Compute the Jacobian of the orbital parameters with eccentric angle with respect to the Cartesian parameters.

Element jacobian[i][j] is the derivative of parameter i of the orbit with respect to Cartesian coordinate j. This means each row correspond to one orbital parameter whereas columns 0 to 5 correspond to the Cartesian coordinates x, y, z, xDot, yDot and zDot.

Specified by:

computeJacobianEccentricWrtCartesian in class FieldOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Returns:

6x6 Jacobian matrix

computeJacobianTrueWrtCartesian

protected T[][] computeJacobianTrueWrtCartesian()

Compute the Jacobian of the orbital parameters with true angle with respect to the Cartesian parameters.

Element jacobian[i][j] is the derivative of parameter i of the orbit with respect to Cartesian coordinate j. This means each row correspond to one orbital parameter whereas columns 0 to 5 correspond to the Cartesian coordinates x, y, z, xDot, yDot and zDot.

Specified by:

computeJacobianTrueWrtCartesian in class FieldOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Returns:

6x6 Jacobian matrix

addKeplerContribution

public void addKeplerContribution(PositionAngleType type,
                                  T gm,
                                  T[] pDot)

Add the contribution of the Keplerian motion to parameters derivatives

This method is used by integration-based propagators to evaluate the part of Keplerian motion to evolution of the orbital state.

Specified by:

addKeplerContribution in class FieldOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

type - type of the position angle in the state

gm - attraction coefficient to use

pDot - array containing orbital state derivatives to update (the Keplerian part must be added to the array components, as the array may already contain some non-zero elements corresponding to non-Keplerian parts)

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this equinoctial parameters object.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of this object

getCachedPositionAngleType

public PositionAngleType getCachedPositionAngleType()

Specified by:

getCachedPositionAngleType in interface PositionAngleBased

Returns:

cached type of position angle

hasRates

public boolean hasRates()

Tells whether the instance holds rates (first-order time derivatives) for dependent variables.

Specified by:

hasRates in interface PositionAngleBased

Returns:

true if and only if holding rates

removeRates

public FieldEquinoctialOrbit<T> removeRates()

Create a new instance such that PositionAngleBased.hasRates() is false.

Specified by:

removeRates in interface PositionAngleBased

Returns:

new object without rates

toOrbit

public EquinoctialOrbit toOrbit()

Transforms the FieldOrbit instance into an Orbit instance.

Specified by:

toOrbit in class FieldOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Returns:

Orbit instance with same properties
