org.orekit.orbits.FieldOrbit<T>

org.orekit.orbits.FieldCartesianOrbit<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements

All Implemented Interfaces:

FieldTimeShiftable<ShiftableFieldPVCoordinatesHolder<FieldOrbit<T>,T>,T>, FieldTimeStamped<T>, TimeShiftable<ShiftableFieldPVCoordinatesHolder<FieldOrbit<T>,T>>, FieldPVCoordinatesProvider<T>, ShiftableFieldPVCoordinatesHolder<FieldOrbit<T>,T>

public class FieldCartesianOrbit<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldOrbit<T>

This class holds Cartesian orbital parameters.

The parameters used internally are the Cartesian coordinates:

• x
• y
• z
• xDot
• yDot
• zDot

contained in PVCoordinates.

Note that the implementation of this class delegates all non-Cartesian related computations (getA(), getEquinoctialEx(), ...) to an underlying instance of the EquinoctialOrbit class. This implies that using this class only for analytical computations which are always based on non-Cartesian parameters is perfectly possible but somewhat sub-optimal.

The instance CartesianOrbit is guaranteed to be immutable.

Since:

9.0
