Constructor Details

FieldClohessyWiltshireEquations

public FieldClohessyWiltshireEquations()

Creates a new FieldClohessyWiltshireEquations object.

Method Details

computeMatrices

public FieldClohessyWiltshireMatrices<T> computeMatrices(T timeSinceEpoch,
 T meanMotion)

Computes the state transition matrices at the given time since epoch.

Cannot be static as in the non-field class because of genericity of field T.

Parameters:

timeSinceEpoch - Time since epoch, given in seconds

meanMotion - Mean motion of the target's CIRCULAR orbit

Returns:

4 3x3 state transition matrices
