User Manual 4.2 Orientation

Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the orientation package.

An orientation provider is an interface that provides methods to return an angle as a function of a spacecraft state.

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.

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