Class SpacecraftFrame

java.lang.Object
  org.orekit.frames.Frame
      org.orekit.frames.SpacecraftFrame

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, PVCoordinatesProvider

Deprecated. as of 6.0 replaced by SpacecraftState.toTransform()

@Deprecated
public class SpacecraftFrame
extends Frame
implements PVCoordinatesProvider

Spacecraft frame.

Frame associated to a satellite body, taking into account orbit and attitude.

Use of this frame is not recommended, and it will probably be withdrawn in a future version. In many cases, rather than using this frame and its getTransformTo method, users should directly get a Transform using SpacecraftState.toTransform().

Note that despite it extends Frame, this frame is NOT serializable, as it relies on Propagator.

Constructor Detail

SpacecraftFrame

public SpacecraftFrame(Propagator propagator,
                       String name)

Deprecated.

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

propagator - orbit/attitude propagator computing spacecraft state evolution

name - name of the frame

Method Detail

getPropagator

public Propagator getPropagator()

Deprecated.

Get the underlying propagator.

Returns:

underlying propagator

getPVCoordinates

public PVCoordinates getPVCoordinates(AbsoluteDate date,
                                      Frame frame)
                               throws OrekitException

Deprecated.

Get the PVCoordinates of the spacecraft frame origin in the selected frame.

Specified by:

getPVCoordinates in interface PVCoordinatesProvider

Parameters:

date - current date

frame - the frame where to define the position

Returns:

position/velocity of the spacecraft frame origin (m and m/s)

Throws:

OrekitException - if position cannot be computed in given frame
