Class Observation

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.files.ccsds.ndm.tdm.Observation

public class Observation
extends Object

The Observation class contains the data from an observation line.

It is not an Orekit object yet. It is a simple container holding:

• a keyword, the type of the observation;
• a timetag, the epoch of the observation;
• a measurement, the value of the observation.

WARNING. The same class handles many different measurements types (range, Doppler, clocks, pressure, power to noise ratio…). Since Orekit 11.0, it uses only SI units, so angular measurements have already been converted in radians, range has been converted in meters (according to the range units, Doppler has been converted to meters per second. Up to Orekit 10.x, the measurements were raw measurements as read in the TDM.
