Detailed Description

Encapsulation of the propagation of the spacecraft dynamics (attitude, orbital, etc.).

The propagator is used to tie together the various spacecraft dynamics that are desired to be propagated. The user has the ability to set the time derivative equations, integrators, parameters, etc. as necessary. Furthermore, the Propagator class can be derived for more functionality.

virtual void O_SESSAME::AnalyticPropagator::Propagate (  const vector< ssfTime > &  _propTime  )  [virtual]

Propagates the dynamics forward through time. Parameters: _propTime  STL vector of values specifying beginning, ending times of propagation as well as time step [initialTime, timeStep, finalTime] (s) Reimplemented from O_SESSAME::Propagator.

void O_SESSAME::Propagator::SetAttitudeObject (  Attitude *  _pAttitudeObject  )  [virtual, inherited]

Sets the Attitude Representation object to be propagated. Parameters: _AttitudeObject  pointer to the attitude representation Definition at line 30 of file Propagator.cpp.

void O_SESSAME::Propagator::SetOrbitObject (  Orbit *  _pOrbitObject  )  [virtual, inherited]

Sets the Orbit Representation object to be propagated. Parameters: _OrbitObject  pointer to the Orbit representation Definition at line 35 of file Propagator.cpp.

Matrix O_SESSAME::Propagator::PropagateOrbit (  const vector< ssfTime > &  _propTime, const Vector &  _initConditions )  [protected, virtual, inherited]
