Method Detail

computeThrustDirection

Vector3D computeThrustDirection(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv,
                                AbsoluteDate date,
                                Frame frame)

Compute the thrust direction corresponding to an orbital state.

Parameters:

pvProv - local position-velocity provider around current date

date - current date

frame - reference frame from which attitude is computed

Returns:

direction thrust direction at the specified date and position-velocity state
