Class FieldCircularOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - type of the field elements

    PositionAngleBased<FieldCircularOrbit<T>>, FieldTimeShiftable<FieldOrbit<T>,​T>, FieldTimeStamped<T>, TimeShiftable<FieldOrbit<T>>, FieldPVCoordinatesProvider<T>
    public class FieldCircularOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldOrbit<T>
implements PositionAngleBased<FieldCircularOrbit<T>>
    This class handles circular orbital parameters.

    The parameters used internally are the circular elements which can be related to Keplerian elements as follows:

    • a
    • ex = e cos(ω)
    • ey = e sin(ω)
    • i
    • Ω
    • αv = v + ω
    where Ω stands for the Right Ascension of the Ascending Node and αv stands for the true latitude argument

    The conversion equations from and to Keplerian elements given above hold only when both sides are unambiguously defined, i.e. when orbit is neither equatorial nor circular. When orbit is circular (but not equatorial), the circular parameters are still unambiguously defined whereas some Keplerian elements (more precisely ω and Ω) become ambiguous. When orbit is equatorial, neither the Keplerian nor the circular parameters can be defined unambiguously. equinoctial orbits is the recommended way to represent orbits.

    The instance CircularOrbit is guaranteed to be immutable.

        hasNonKeplerianRates in interface PositionAngleBased<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
        Returns:
        true if and only if holding non-Keplerian rates
