public class YamanakaAnkersenRendezVous
extends Object

This class implements the solution to the Yamanaka-Ankersen equations for a two-impulse rendez-vous as presented in the Ankersen thesis. Ref : "Guidance, Navigation, Control and Relative Dynamics for Spacecraft Proximity Maneuvers",Ph .D Thesis, Finn Ankersen, 2010, see Chapter 4.6 Local Orbital Frame for use of Yamanaka-Ankersen Equations is LVLH CCSDS.

For more general rendez-vous transfer orbit computations, see IodLambert.

 Propagator propagator)

Computes a two-impulse transfer between an initial and final positions using the Yamanaka-Ankersen closed-form solution.

Parameters:

chaserPVTInitial - Initial chaser PVT expressed in provided frame

chaserPVTFinal - Final chaser PVT expressed in provided frame

chaserPVFrame - Frame in which the initial and final chaser PVT are expressed

targetOrbit - Target spacecraft's orbit

propagator - Propagator used to compute the final state of the target to get the final True Anomaly

Returns:
