Parameters

orbitEpoch
Type: AGI.Foundation.TimeJulianDate
The epoch associated with the initial conditions of the propagated orbit.
inertialFrame
Type: AGI.Foundation.GeometryReferenceFrame
An inertial ReferenceFrame centered at the central body.
altitude
Type: SystemDouble
The distance of the circular orbit above the referenceDistance of the central body.
inclination
Type: SystemDouble
The inclination of the orbit.
rightAscensionOfAscendingNode
Type: SystemDouble
The right ascension of the ascending node of the orbit.
gravitationalParameter
Type: SystemDouble
The gravitational parameter of the central body.
j2UnnormalizedValue
Type: SystemDouble
The non-normalized J2 parameter of the central body.
j4UnnormalizedValue
Type: SystemDouble
The non-normalized J4 parameter of the central body.
referenceDistance
Type: SystemDouble
The equatorial radius of the central body that also serves as a reference distance for the J2 and J4 parameters.

Return Value

Type: J4Propagator
A J4Propagator object that is initialized at its ascending node with the desired orbit epoch, orbital elements, and gravity field.
Exceptions
