Class FieldDeepSDP4<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Type Parameters:
T - type of the field elements
All Implemented Interfaces:
FieldPropagator<T>, FieldPVCoordinatesProvider<T>, ParameterDriversProvider

public class FieldDeepSDP4<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>> extends FieldTLEPropagator<T>
This class contains the methods that compute deep space perturbation terms.

The user should not bother in this class since it is handled internaly by the TLEPropagator.

This implementation is largely inspired from the paper and source code Revisiting Spacetrack Report #3 and is fully compliant with its results and tests cases.

11.0
