Package org.orekit.forces.gravity Description

This package provides all gravity-related forces.

The force models include several implementations of spherical harmonics attraction models: Holmes-Featherstone, Cunningham, and Droziner. The recommended one is Holmes-Featherstone.

The force models also include third body attraction, and both solid tides and ocean tides, both with or without pole tide.
