Method Detail

getAttitude

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

Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

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:

PatriusException - if attitude cannot be computed

getFirstAxis

public Vector3D getFirstAxis()

Getter for the satellite axis aligned with the first direction.

Returns:

the satellite axis aligned with the first direction

getSecondAxis

public Vector3D getSecondAxis()

Getter for the satellite axis aligned at best with the second direction.

Returns:

the satellite axis aligned at best with the second direction
