conditionally thread-safe

Concurrency comment :

The use of an AttitudeLaw makes it thread-safe only if the AttitudeLaw is.

Constructor Detail

AttitudeLawLeg

public AttitudeLawLeg(AttitudeLaw attitudeLaw,
                      AbsoluteDate initialDate,
                      AbsoluteDate finalDate)

Build an attitude law version "attitude". Its interval of validity has closed endpoints.

Parameters:

attitudeLaw - : provider of the attitude law

initialDate - : start date of the interval of validity

finalDate - : end date of the interval of validity

Method Detail

getTimeInterval

public AbsoluteDateInterval getTimeInterval()

Description copied from interface: AttitudeLeg

Return the time interval of validity

Specified by:

getTimeInterval in interface AttitudeLeg

Returns:

time interval of validity

getAttitudeLaw

public AttitudeLaw getAttitudeLaw()

Gets the attitude law provider associated to the current attitude leg.

Returns:

the AttitudeLaw of the current leg

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

getAttitude

public Attitude getAttitude(Orbit orbit)
                     throws OrekitException

Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

Specified by:

getAttitude in interface AttitudeProvider

Parameters:

orbit - current orbit

Returns:

attitude attitude on the current orbit

Throws:

OrekitException - if attitude cannot be computed

setSpinDerivativesComputation

public void setSpinDerivativesComputation(boolean computeSpinDerivatives)
                                   throws OrekitException

Method to activate spin derivative computation.

Spin derivatives computation applies to underlying law.

Specified by:

setSpinDerivativesComputation in interface AttitudeProvider

Parameters:

computeSpinDerivatives - true if spin derivatives should be computed

Throws:

OrekitException - if spin derivatives can not be computed
