fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.attitudes.LofOffsetPointing

All Implemented Interfaces:

AttitudeLaw, AttitudeProvider, Serializable

public class LofOffsetPointing
extends GroundPointing

This class provides a default attitude provider.

The attitude pointing law is defined by an attitude provider and the satellite axis vector chosen for pointing.

public LofOffsetPointing(BodyShape shape,
                         AttitudeProvider attLaw,
                         Vector3D satPointingVectorIn)

Creates new instance.

Parameters:

shape - Body shape

satPointingVectorIn - satellite vector defining the pointing direction

Method Detail

getAttitude

public Attitude getAttitude(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv,
                            AbsoluteDate date,
                            Frame frame)
                     throws PatriusException

Compute the attitude corresponding to an orbital state.

Specified by:

getAttitude in interface AttitudeProvider

Overrides:

getAttitude in class GroundPointing

Parameters:

pvProv - local position-velocity provider around current date

date - current date

frame - reference frame from which attitude is computed

Returns:

attitude attitude on the specified date and position-velocity state

Throws:

PatriusException - if attitude cannot be computed

getTargetPoint

protected Vector3D getTargetPoint(PVCoordinatesProvider pvProv,
                                  AbsoluteDate date,
                                  Frame frame)
                           throws PatriusException

Compute the target point in specified frame.

Specified by:

getTargetPoint in class GroundPointing

Parameters:

pvProv - provider for PV coordinates

date - date at which target point is requested

frame - frame in which observed ground point should be provided

Returns:

observed ground point position in specified frame

Throws:

PatriusException - if some specific error occurs, such as no target reached

setSpinDerivativesComputation

public void setSpinDerivativesComputation(boolean computeSpinDerivatives)
                                   throws PatriusException

Method to activate spin derivative computation.

Spin derivatives computation applies to provided law attitudeLaw.

Specified by:

setSpinDerivativesComputation in interface AttitudeProvider

Overrides:

setSpinDerivativesComputation in class AbstractAttitudeLaw

Parameters:

computeSpinDerivatives - true if spin derivatives should be computed

Throws:

PatriusException - if spin derivatives can not be computed
