All Implemented Interfaces:

PVCoordinatesProvider, Propagator, SpacecraftStateProvider, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

StelaGTOPropagator

public abstract class StelaAbstractPropagator
extends Object
implements Propagator

Common handling of Propagator methods for analytical propagators.

This abstract class allows to provide easily the full set of Propagator methods, including all propagation modes support and discrete events support for any simple propagation method. Only two methods must be implemented by derived classes: propagateSpacecraftState(AbsoluteDate) and getMass(AbsoluteDate). The first method should perform straightforward propagation starting from some internally stored initial state up to the specified target date.

getFrame

public Frame getFrame()

Get the frame in which the orbit is propagated.

4 cases are possible:

• The propagation frame has been defined (using Propagator.setOrbitFrame(Frame)): it is returned.
• The propagation frame has not been defined and the initial state has been provided and is expressed in a pseudo-inertial frame: the initial state frame is returned.
• The propagation frame has not been defined and the initial state has been provided and is not expressed in a pseudo-inertial frame: null is returned.
• The propagation frame has not been defined and the initial state has not been provided: null is returned.

Specified by:

getFrame in interface Propagator

Returns:

frame in which the orbit is propagated

setSlaveMode

public void setSlaveMode()

Set the propagator to slave mode.

This mode is used when the user needs only the final orbit at the target time. The (slave) propagator computes this result and return it to the calling (master) application, without any intermediate feedback.

This is the default mode.

Specified by:

setSlaveMode in interface Propagator

See Also:

Propagator.setMasterMode(double, PatriusFixedStepHandler), Propagator.setMasterMode(PatriusStepHandler), Propagator.setEphemerisMode(), Propagator.getMode(), Propagator.SLAVE_MODE

setMasterMode

public void setMasterMode(double h,
                          PatriusFixedStepHandler handler)

Set the propagator to master mode with fixed steps.

This mode is used when the user needs to have some custom function called at the end of each finalized step during integration. The (master) propagator integration loop calls the (slave) application callback methods at each finalized step.

Note that mean elements will be provided by the step handler.

Specified by:

setMasterMode in interface Propagator

Parameters:

h - fixed stepsize (s)

handler - handler called at the end of each finalized step

See Also:

Propagator.setSlaveMode(), Propagator.setMasterMode(PatriusStepHandler), Propagator.setEphemerisMode(), Propagator.getMode(), Propagator.MASTER_MODE

setMasterMode

public void setMasterMode(PatriusStepHandler handler)

Set the propagator to master mode with variable steps.

This mode is used when the user needs to have some custom function called at the end of each finalized step during integration. The (master) propagator integration loop calls the (slave) application callback methods at each finalized step.

Note that mean elements will be provided by the step handler.

Specified by:

setMasterMode in interface Propagator

Parameters:

handler - handler called at the end of each finalized step

See Also:

Propagator.setSlaveMode(), Propagator.setMasterMode(double, PatriusFixedStepHandler), Propagator.setEphemerisMode(), Propagator.getMode(), Propagator.MASTER_MODE

setEphemerisMode

public void setEphemerisMode()

Set the propagator to ephemeris generation mode.

This mode is used when the user needs random access to the orbit state at any time between the initial and target times, and in no sequential order. A typical example is the implementation of search and iterative algorithms that may navigate forward and backward inside the propagation range before finding their result.

Beware that since this mode stores all intermediate results, it may be memory intensive for long integration ranges and high precision/short time steps.

Specified by:

setEphemerisMode in interface Propagator

See Also:

Propagator.getGeneratedEphemeris(), Propagator.setSlaveMode(), Propagator.setMasterMode(double, PatriusFixedStepHandler), Propagator.setMasterMode(PatriusStepHandler), Propagator.getMode(), Propagator.EPHEMERIS_GENERATION_MODE

                   throws PatriusException

Specified by:

Throws:

PatriusException - if frame is not inertial or pseudo-inertial

addAdditionalStateProvider

public void addAdditionalStateProvider(AdditionalStateProvider additionalStateProvider)
                                throws PatriusException

Add a set of user-specified state parameters to be computed along with the orbit propagation.

Parameters:

additionalStateProvider - provider for additional state

Throws:

PatriusException - if an additional state with the same name is already present

propagate

public SpacecraftState propagate(AbsoluteDate target)
                          throws PropagationException

Propagate towards a target date.

Simple propagators use only the target date as the specification for computing the propagated state. More feature rich propagators can consider other information and provide different operating modes or G-stop facilities to stop at pinpointed events occurrences. In these cases, the target date is only a hint, not a mandatory objective.

Note that mean elements are returned.

Specified by:

propagate in interface Propagator

Parameters:

target - target date towards which orbit state should be propagated

Returns:

propagated state

Throws:

PropagationException - if state cannot be propagated

propagate

public SpacecraftState propagate(AbsoluteDate start,
                                 AbsoluteDate target)
                          throws PropagationException

Propagate from a start date towards a target date.

Those propagators use a start date and a target date to compute the propagated state. For propagators using event detection mechanism, if the provided start date is different from the initial state date, a first, simple propagation is performed, without processing any event computation. Then complete propagation is performed from start date to target date.

Note that mean elements are returned.

Specified by:

propagate in interface Propagator

Parameters:

start - start date from which orbit state should be propagated

target - target date to which orbit state should be propagated

Returns:

propagated state

Throws:

PropagationException - if state cannot be propagated

propagation list of step handlers.
