Package org.orekit.forces

This package provides the interface for force models that will be used by the NumericalPropagator and the NumericalPropagatorWithJacobians, as well as some classical spacecraft models for surface forces (spherical, box and solar array ...).

Interface Summary

ForceModel	This interface represents a force modifying spacecraft motion.
ForceModelWithJacobians	This interface represents a parameterized force modifying spacecraft motion.
Parameterizable	This interface enables to process partial derivatives with respect to force model parameters.

Class Summary

BoxAndSolarArraySpacecraft	experimental class representing the features of a classical satellite with a convex body shape and rotating flat solar arrays.
BoxAndSolarArraySpacecraft.Facet	Class representing a single facet of a convex spacecraft body.
SphericalSpacecraft	This class represents the features of a simplified spacecraft.
