WalkerConstellationSlot (OREKIT 12.1-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.orekit.orbits.WalkerConstellationSlot<O>

Type Parameters:

O - type of the orbit
```
public class WalkerConstellationSlot<O extends Orbit>
extends Object
```
Container for one satellite slot in a Wlaker constellation.
The getSatellite() satellite index for regular satellites is an integer, but it is allowed to have non-integer indices to create slots for in-orbit spare satellites between the regular satellites. As an example, one can consider a 24/3/1 Walker constellation with 8 operational satellites in each of the 3 planes at satellites indices 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and put for example 2 additional spares in each plane (hence having a total of 30 satellites), by affecting them to intermediate slots 0.5 and 4.5.

- Method Detail
  - getConstellation
```
public WalkerConstellation getConstellation()
```
    Get the constellation.
    
    Returns:
    
    constellation
  - getPlane
```
public int getPlane()
```
    Get the plane index.
    
    Returns:
    
    plane index
  - getSatellite
```
public double getSatellite()
```
    Get the satellite index in plane.
    Not that the index may be non-integer, for example to deal with in-orbit spare satellites
    
    Returns:
    
    satellite index in plane
  - getOrbit
```
public O getOrbit()
```
    Get the orbit.
    
    Returns:
    
    orbit
