Features Description

The orientations package is designed similarly to attitude providers:

• An interface OrientationAngleProvider returns an angle given a spacecraft state (similarly to AttitudeProvider which returns an Attitude)
• An interface OrientationAngleLaw gathers orientation laws and is similar to AttitudeLaw
• An interface OrientationAngleLeg is a time-bounded leg and is similar to AttitudeLeg
• An interface OrientationAngleProfile is a profile of orientation angles and is similar to AttitudeProfile
• A class OrientationAngleLawLeg is a law leg and is similar to AttitudeLawLeg
• A class OrientationAngleLawLegsSequence is a sequence of OrientationAngleLawLeg and is similar to AttitudeLawLegsSequence
• A class OrientationAngleProfileSequence is a sequence of OrientationAngleProfile and is similar to AttitudeProfileSequence

Note: the package currently does not provide any implementation of OrientationAngleProvider interface except for constant angles.

Getting Started

Use is identical to attitudes. See the page for examples.
