orbitShiftedBy

protected CircularOrbit 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 CircularOrbit 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 on circular elements, without derivatives (which means the interpolation falls back to Lagrange interpolation only).

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:
