Interface MultiAttitudeProvider

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

MultiAttitudeProviderWrapper

public interface MultiAttitudeProvider
extends Serializable

This interface represents an attitude provider for multi-satellites models.

An attitude provider provides a way to compute an Attitude from an date and several position-velocity provider.

It is particularly useful if attitude of one satellite depends on PV of other satellites which themselves depend on other satellites PV.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Attitude	getAttitude(Map<String,Orbit> orbits) Computes the attitude corresponding to several orbital states.
Attitude	getAttitude(Map<String,PVCoordinatesProvider> pvProvs, AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame) Computes the attitude corresponding to several orbital states.

Method Detail

getAttitude

Attitude getAttitude(Map<String,PVCoordinatesProvider> pvProvs,
                     AbsoluteDate date,
                     Frame frame)
              throws PatriusException

Computes the attitude corresponding to several orbital states.

Parameters:

pvProvs - PV providers around current date

date - current date

frame - reference frame in which attitude is computed

Returns:

attitude attitude at the specified date in the specified frame and depending on the specified PV states

Throws:

PatriusException - thrown if attitude cannot be computed

getAttitude

Attitude getAttitude(Map<String,Orbit> orbits)
              throws PatriusException

Computes the attitude corresponding to several orbital states.

Parameters:

orbits - orbits of satellite. They should be at the same date

Returns:

attitude attitude at the orbit date, in orbit frame and depending on the specified PV states

Throws:

PatriusException - thrown if attitude cannot be computed or orbits are not at the same date
