public interface PVCoordinatesProvider
extends Serializable

Interface for PV coordinates providers.

Author:

Veronique Pommier

The PV coordinates provider interface can be used by any class used for position/velocity computation, for example celestial bodies or spacecraft position/velocity propagators, and many others...

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Frame	getNativeFrame(AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame) Get the native frame, i.e.
PVCoordinates	getPVCoordinates(AbsoluteDate date, Frame frame) Get the PVCoordinates of the body in the selected frame.

Method Detail

getPVCoordinates

PVCoordinates getPVCoordinates(AbsoluteDate date,
                               Frame frame)
                        throws PatriusException

Get the PVCoordinates of the body in the selected frame.

Parameters:

date - current date

frame - the frame where to define the position

Returns:

position/velocity of the body (m and m/s)

Throws:

PatriusException - if position cannot be computed in given frame

getNativeFrame

Frame getNativeFrame(AbsoluteDate date,
                     Frame frame)
              throws PatriusException

Get the native frame, i.e. the raw frame in which PVCoordinates are expressed before transformation to user output frame. This native frame can be dependent on date and frame.

Parameters:

date - a date

frame - a frame

Returns:

the native frame

Throws:

PatriusException - thrown if native frame is undefined or unknown
