org.orekit.files.ccsds.ndm.tdm.ObservationsBlock

All Implemented Interfaces:

Data, Section

public class ObservationsBlock
extends CommentsContainer
implements Data

The Observations Block class contain metadata and the list of observation data lines.

The reason for which the observations have been separated into blocks is that the different data blocks in a TDM file usually refers to different types of observations.

An observation block is associated with a TDM metadata object and contains a list of observations.

At this level, an observation is not an Orekit object, it is a custom object containing:

- a keyword, the type of the observation;

- a timetag, the date of the observation;

- a measurement, the value of the observation.
