The PV coordinates provider interface can be used by any class used for position/velocity computation, for example celestial bodies or spacecraft position/velocity propagators, and many others...

  • Method Details

    • getPosition

      default Vector3D getPosition(AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame)
      Get the position of the body in the selected frame.
      Parameters:
      date - current date
      frame - the frame where to define the position
      Returns:
      position of the body (m and)
      Since:
      12.0

    • getVelocity

      default Vector3D getVelocity(AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame)
      Get the velocity of the body in the selected frame.
      Parameters:
      date - current date
      frame - the frame where to define the velocity
      Returns:
      velocity of the body (m/s)
      Since:
      13.1

    • getPVCoordinates

      TimeStampedPVCoordinates getPVCoordinates(AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame)
      Get the PVCoordinates of the body in the selected frame.
      Parameters:
      date - current date
      frame - the frame where to define the position
      Returns:
      time-stamped position/velocity of the body (m and m/s)
