KeplerianPropagator

public KeplerianPropagator(Orbit initialOrbit)

Build a propagator from orbit only.

The central attraction coefficient μ is set to the same value used for the initial orbit definition. Mass and attitude provider are set to unspecified non-null arbitrary values.

Parameters:

initialOrbit - initial orbit

Method Details

resetInitialState

public void resetInitialState(SpacecraftState state)

Reset the propagator initial state.

Specified by:

resetInitialState in interface Propagator

Overrides:

resetInitialState in class AbstractPropagator

Parameters:

state - new initial state to consider

resetIntermediateState

protected void resetIntermediateState(SpacecraftState state,
 boolean forward)

Reset an intermediate state.

Specified by:

resetIntermediateState in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

forward - if true, the intermediate state is valid for propagations after itself

propagateOrbit

public Orbit propagateOrbit(AbsoluteDate date)

Extrapolate an orbit up to a specific target date.

Specified by:

propagateOrbit in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

date - target date for the orbit

Returns:

extrapolated parameters

getMass

protected double getMass(AbsoluteDate date)

Get the mass.

Specified by:

getMass in class AbstractAnalyticalPropagator

Parameters:

createHarvester

protected AbstractMatricesHarvester createHarvester(String stmName,
 RealMatrix initialStm,
 DoubleArrayDictionary initialJacobianColumns)

Create the harvester suitable for propagator.

Overrides:
