  org.orekit.attitudes.AbstractAttitudeLaw
      org.orekit.attitudes.ComposedAttitudeLaw

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, AttitudeLaw, AttitudeLawModifier, AttitudeProvider

public class ComposedAttitudeLaw
extends AbstractAttitudeLaw
implements AttitudeLawModifier

This class represents a composed attitude law, defined by a main attitude law provider and a chained list of orientation laws.
The main attitude law provides, for a given date, the dynamic frame representing the spacecraft orientation; this orientation is then progressively transformed using the orientation laws.

law - the main attitude law

modifiers - the orientation laws

Method Detail

getUnderlyingAttitudeLaw

public AttitudeLaw getUnderlyingAttitudeLaw()

Description copied from interface: AttitudeLawModifier

Get the underlying attitude law.

Specified by:

getUnderlyingAttitudeLaw in interface AttitudeLawModifier

Returns:

underlying attitude law

getAttitude

public Attitude getAttitude(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv,
                            AbsoluteDate date,
                            Frame frame)
                     throws OrekitException

Description copied from interface: AttitudeProvider

Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

Specified by:

getAttitude in interface AttitudeProvider

Parameters:

pvProv - local position-velocity provider around current date

date - current date

frame - reference frame from which attitude is computed

Returns:

attitude attitude on the specified date and position-velocity state

Throws:

OrekitException - if attitude cannot be computed
