Method Detail

getPVCoordinates

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

Geometric computation of the position to a date. Computes a finite difference between position at date minus step and position at date plus step. If Input frame is null, results are expressed in WGS84.

Specified by:

getPVCoordinates in interface PVCoordinatesProvider

Parameters:

date - Date to compute coordinates

frame - Results expression frame.

Returns:

position velocity coordinates at input date in frame

Throws:

OrekitException - if input frame is different from WGS84 and configuration has not been defined
