                                 Frame outputInertialFrame)

Constructor.

Parameters:

interpolationPoints - number of interpolation points

extrapolationThreshold - extrapolation threshold beyond which the propagation will fail

outputInertialFrame - output inertial frame

Method Detail

checkOrbitsConsistency

public static void checkOrbitsConsistency(Collection<Orbit> sample)

Check orbits consistency by comparing their gravitational parameters µ.

Parameters:

Parameters:

interpolationDate - interpolation date

sample - time stamped sample

Returns:

a new instance, interpolated at specified date

getOutputInertialFrame

public Frame getOutputInertialFrame()

Get output inertial frame.

Returns:
