Interface BoundedPropagator

All Superinterfaces:

Propagator, PVCoordinatesProvider, Serializable, SpacecraftStateProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

AnalyticalIntegratedEphemeris, Ephemeris, IntegratedEphemeris, MultiIntegratedEphemeris, PVEphemeris

public interface BoundedPropagator
extends Propagator

This interface is intended for ephemerides valid only during a time range.

This interface provides a mean to retrieve orbital parameters at any time within a given range. It should be implemented by orbit readers based on external data files and by continuous models built after numerical integration has been completed and dense output data as been gathered.

Method Detail

getMinDate

AbsoluteDate getMinDate()

Get the first date of the range.

Returns:

the first date of the range

getMaxDate

AbsoluteDate getMaxDate()

Get the last date of the range.

Returns:

the last date of the range

setOrbitFrame

void setOrbitFrame(Frame frameIn)
            throws PatriusException

Set propagation frame.

Parameters:

frameIn - the frame to use. This frame must be inertial or pseudo-inertial, otherwise an exception is raised.

Throws:

PatriusException - if frame is not inertial or pseudo-inertial
