Method Detail

buildPropagator

Propagator buildPropagator(AbsoluteDate date,
                         double[] parameters)
                           throws OrekitException

Build a propagator.

Parameters:

date - date associated to the parameters to configure the initial state

parameters - set of position/velocity(/free) parameters to configure the propagator

Returns:

an initialized propagator

Throws:

OrekitException - if propagator cannot be build

getFrame

Frame getFrame()

Get the frame in which the orbit is propagated.

Returns:

frame in which the orbit is propagated

setFreeParameters

void setFreeParameters(Collection<String> parameters)

Set the free parameters in order to build the propagator.

The parameters must belong to the list returned by Parameterizable.getParametersNames()

Parameters:

parameters - free parameters to set when building the propagator
