Interface BoundedPropagator

All Superinterfaces:

Propagator, PVCoordinatesProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

AggregateBoundedPropagator, Ephemeris, IntegratedEphemeris

public interface BoundedPropagator
extends Propagator

This interface is intended for ephemerides valid only during a time range.

This interface provides a mean to retrieve orbital parameters at any time within a given range. It should be implemented by orbit readers based on external data files and by continuous models built after numerical integration has been completed and dense output data as been gathered.
