      • computeThrustDirection

        Vector3D computeThrustDirection​(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv,
                                        AbsoluteDate date,
                                        Frame frame)
        Compute the thrust direction corresponding to an orbital state.
        Parameters:
        pvProv - local position-velocity provider around current date
        date - current date
        frame - reference frame from which attitude is computed
        Returns:
        direction thrust direction at the specified date and position-velocity state
