first component of the equinoctial eccentricity vector

getEquinoctialEy

public double getEquinoctialEy()

Get the second component of the equinoctial eccentricity vector.

Specified by:

getEquinoctialEy in class Orbit

Returns:

second component of the equinoctial eccentricity vector

getHx

public double getHx()

Get hx = ix / (2 * cos(i/2)), where ix is the first component of the inclination vector. Another formulation is hx = tan(i/2) cos(Ω)

Specified by:

protected PVCoordinates initPVCoordinates()

Compute the position/velocity coordinates from the canonical parameters.

Specified by:

initPVCoordinates in class Orbit

Returns:

computed position/velocity coordinates

orbitShiftedBy

protected CartesianOrbit orbitShiftedBy(double dt)

Get a time-shifted orbit.

The orbit can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on a simple keplerian model. It is not intended as a replacement for proper orbit and attitude propagation but should be sufficient for small time shifts or coarse accuracy.

Specified by:

orbitShiftedBy in class Orbit

Parameters:

dt - time shift in seconds

Returns:

a new orbit, shifted with respect to the instance (which is immutable)

interpolate

public CartesianOrbit interpolate(AbsoluteDate date,
                                  Collection<Orbit> sample)

Get an interpolated instance.

Note that the state of the current instance may not be used in the interpolation process, only its type and non interpolable fields are used (for example central attraction coefficient or frame when interpolating orbits). The interpolable fields taken into account are taken only from the states of the sample points. So if the state of the instance must be used, the instance should be included in the sample points.

The interpolated instance is created by polynomial Hermite interpolation ensuring velocity remains the exact derivative of position.

Parameters:

date - interpolation date

sample - sample points on which interpolation should be done

Returns:

a new instance, interpolated at specified date

computeJacobianMeanWrtCartesian

protected double[][] computeJacobianMeanWrtCartesian()

Compute the Jacobian of the orbital parameters with mean angle with respect to the Cartesian parameters.

Element jacobian[i][j] is the derivative of parameter i of the orbit with respect to Cartesian coordinate j. This means each row correspond to one orbital parameter whereas columns 0 to 5 correspond to the Cartesian coordinates x, y, z, xDot, yDot and zDot.

Specified by:

Returns:

6x6 Jacobian matrix

This method is used by numerical propagators to evaluate the part of Keplerrian motion to evolution of the orbital state.

Specified by:

orbitAddKeplerContribution in class Orbit

Parameters:

gm - attraction coefficient to use

pDot - array containing orbital state derivatives to update (the Keplerian part must be added to the array components, as the array may already contain some non-zero elements corresponding to non-Keplerian parts)
