public AbstractAttitudeLaw()

Method Detail

getAttitude

public Attitude getAttitude(Orbit orbit)
                     throws OrekitException

Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

Specified by:

getAttitude in interface AttitudeProvider

Parameters:

orbit - current orbit

Returns:

attitude attitude on the current orbit

Throws:

OrekitException - if attitude cannot be computed

setSpinDerivativesComputation

public void setSpinDerivativesComputation(boolean computeSpinDerivatives)
                                   throws OrekitException

Method to activate spin derivative computation.

Specified by:

setSpinDerivativesComputation in interface AttitudeProvider

Parameters:

computeSpinDerivatives - true if spin derivatives should be computed

Throws:

OrekitException - if spin derivatives can not be computed

getSpinDerivativesComputation

public boolean getSpinDerivativesComputation()

Get the value of the flag indicating if spin derivation computation is activated.

Returns:

true if the spin derivative have to be computed, false otherwise
