All Implemented Interfaces:

ForceModel

public class ConstantThrustManeuver
extends AbstractForceModel

This class implements a simple maneuver with constant thrust.

The maneuver is defined by a direction in satellite frame. The current attitude of the spacecraft, defined by the current spacecraft state, will be used to compute the thrust direction in inertial frame. A typical case for tangential maneuvers is to use a LOF aligned attitude provider for state propagation and a velocity increment along the +X satellite axis.

Constructor Detail

ConstantThrustManeuver

public ConstantThrustManeuver(AbsoluteDate date,
                              double duration,
                              double thrust,

                              org.hipparchus.geometry.euclidean.threed.Vector3D direction)

Simple constructor for a constant direction and constant thrust.

Calling this constructor is equivalent to call ConstantThrustManeuver(date, duration, thrust, isp, direction, ""), hence not using any prefix for the parameters drivers names.

Parameters:

date - maneuver date

duration - the duration of the thrust (s) (if negative, the date is considered to be the stop date)

thrust - the thrust force (N)

isp - engine specific impulse (s)

direction - the acceleration direction in satellite frame.

                              double isp,
                              AttitudeProvider attitudeOverride,
                              org.hipparchus.geometry.euclidean.threed.Vector3D direction)

Simple constructor for a constant direction and constant thrust.

Calling this constructor is equivalent to call ConstantThrustManeuver(date, duration, thrust, isp, direction, ""), hence not using any prefix for the parameters drivers names.

Parameters:

date - maneuver date

duration - the duration of the thrust (s) (if negative, the date is considered to be the stop date)

thrust - the thrust force (N)

isp - engine specific impulse (s)

attitudeOverride - the attitude provider to use for the maneuver, or null if the attitude from the propagator should be used

direction - the acceleration direction in satellite frame.

ConstantThrustManeuver

public ConstantThrustManeuver(AbsoluteDate date,
                              double duration,
                              double thrust,
                              double isp,
                              org.hipparchus.geometry.euclidean.threed.Vector3D direction,
                              String name)

Simple constructor for a constant direction and constant thrust.

If the driversNamePrefix is empty, the names will be "thrust" and "flow rate", otherwise the prefix is prepended to these fixed strings. A typical use case is to use something like "1A-" or "2B-" as a prefix corresponding to the name of the thruster to use, so separate parameters can be adjusted for the different thrusters involved during an orbit determination where maneuvers parameters are estimated.

Parameters:

date - maneuver date

duration - the duration of the thrust (s) (if negative, the date is considered to be the stop date)

thrust - the thrust force (N)

isp - engine specific impulse (s)

direction - the acceleration direction in satellite frame

name - name of the maneuver, used as a prefix for the parameters drivers
