Constructor Detail

SP3Ephemeris

public SP3Ephemeris(String id)

Create an ephemeris for a single satellite.

Parameters:

id - of the satellite.

Method Detail

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris

Get the satellite ID. The satellite ID is unique only within the same ephemeris file.

Specified by:

getId in interface EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris<SP3.SP3Coordinate,SP3.SP3Ephemeris>

Returns:

the satellite's ID, never null.

getMu

public double getMu()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris

Get the standard gravitational parameter for the satellite.

Specified by:

getMu in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Specified by:

getMu in interface EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris<SP3.SP3Coordinate,SP3.SP3Ephemeris>

Returns:

the gravitational parameter used in EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris.getPropagator(), in m³/s².

getFrame

public Frame getFrame()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment

Get the reference frame for this ephemeris segment. The defining frame for EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment.getCoordinates().

Specified by:

getFrame in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Returns:

the reference frame for this segment. Never null.

getInterpolationSamples

public int getInterpolationSamples()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment

Get the number of samples to use in interpolation.

Specified by:

getInterpolationSamples in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Returns:

the number of points to use for interpolation.

getAvailableDerivatives

public CartesianDerivativesFilter getAvailableDerivatives()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment

Get which derivatives of position are available in this ephemeris segment.

While EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment.getCoordinates() always returns position, velocity, and acceleration the return value from this method indicates which of those are in the ephemeris file and are actually valid.

Specified by:

getAvailableDerivatives in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Returns:

a value indicating if the file contains velocity and/or acceleration data.

getCoordinates

public List<SP3.SP3Coordinate> getCoordinates()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment

Get the coordinates for this ephemeris segment in EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment.getFrame().

Specified by:

getCoordinates in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Returns:

a list of state vectors in chronological order. The coordinates are not necessarily evenly spaced in time. The value of EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment.getAvailableDerivatives() indicates if the velocity or accelerations were specified in the file. Any position, velocity, or acceleration coordinates that are not specified in the ephemeris file are zero in the returned values.

getSegments

public List<SP3.SP3Ephemeris> getSegments()

Returns a list containing only this.

Specified by:

getSegments in interface EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris<SP3.SP3Coordinate,SP3.SP3Ephemeris>

Returns:

the segments contained in the ephemeris file for this satellite.

getStart

public AbsoluteDate getStart()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris

Get the start date of the ephemeris.

The date returned by this method is equivalent to getPropagator().getMinDate().

Specified by:

getStart in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Specified by:

getStart in interface EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris<SP3.SP3Coordinate,SP3.SP3Ephemeris>

Returns:

ephemeris start date.

getStop

public AbsoluteDate getStop()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris

Get the end date of the ephemeris.

The date returned by this method is equivalent to getPropagator().getMaxDate().

Specified by:

getStop in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Specified by:

getStop in interface EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris<SP3.SP3Coordinate,SP3.SP3Ephemeris>

Returns:

ephemeris end date.

getPropagator

public BoundedPropagator getPropagator()

Description copied from interface: EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris

View this ephemeris as a propagator, combining data from all segments.

In order to view the ephemeris for this satellite as a Propagator several conditions must be met. An Orekit Frame must be constructable from the frame specification in the ephemeris file. This condition is met when EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment.getFrame() return normally for all segments. If there are multiple segments they must be adjacent such that there are no duplicates or gaps in the ephemeris. The definition of adjacent depends on the ephemeris format as some formats define usable start and stop times that are different from the ephemeris data start and stop times. If these conditions are not met an OrekitException may be thrown by this method or by one of the methods of the returned Propagator.

Each call to this method creates a new propagator.

Specified by:

getPropagator in interface EphemerisFile.EphemerisSegment<SP3.SP3Coordinate>

Specified by:

getPropagator in interface EphemerisFile.SatelliteEphemeris<SP3.SP3Coordinate,SP3.SP3Ephemeris>

Returns:

a propagator for all the data in this ephemeris file.

setAccuracy

public void setAccuracy(double accuracy)

Set the accuracy for this satellite.

Parameters:

accuracy - in m.

getAccuracy

public double getAccuracy()

Get the formal accuracy for this satellite.

The accuracy is limited by the SP3 standard to be a power of 2 in mm. The value returned here is in meters.

Returns:

magnitude of one standard deviation, in m.
