fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.bodies.UserCelestialBody

All Implemented Interfaces:

CelestialBody, PVCoordinatesProvider, Serializable

public class UserCelestialBody
extends AbstractCelestialBody

User-defined celestial body. It can be used to define any celestial body with:

• Its name
• A PVCoordinatesProvider providing body position-velocity through time
• Its gravitational constant
• Its pole motion (reference data are provided by IAU)

Method Detail

getPVCoordinates

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

Get the PVCoordinates of the body in the selected frame.

Specified by:

getPVCoordinates in interface PVCoordinatesProvider

Specified by:

getPVCoordinates in class AbstractCelestialBody

Parameters:

date - current date

frame - the frame where to define the position

Returns:

position/velocity of the body (m and m/s)

Throws:

PatriusException - if position cannot be computed in given frame
