SpecializedOrbitSolver Methods

Creates a circular orbit with the desired characteristics.

Creates a critically-inclined orbit with an argument of periapsis that remains constant under J2 Perturbations.

Creates an orbit with an argument of periapsis that remains constant under J2 perturbations (critically-inclined) and a right ascension of the ascending node that drifts under J2 perturbations at the same rate as the central body's orbit around the Sun (Sun-synchronous).

Creates a circular orbit using default Earth parameters with the desired characteristics.

Creates a critically-inclined orbit with an argument of periapsis that remains constant under J2 Perturbations. Uses Earth defaults.

Creates an orbit with an argument of periapsis that remains constant under J2 perturbations (critically-inclined) and a right ascension of the ascending node that drifts under J2 perturbations at the same rate as the central body's orbit around the Sun (Sun-synchronous). Uses Earth defaults.

Creates an elliptical orbit with an argument of periapsis that remains constant under J2 perturbations (critically-inclined) and has an orbital period that is exactly half the rotation period of the Earth (semi-synchronous).

Creates a circular orbit that exactly repeats its ground trace after a specified number of revolutions under the influence of J2 perturbations. Uses Earth defaults.

Creates a circular orbit that exactly repeats its ground trace after a specified number of revolutions under the influence of J2 perturbations. Uses Earth defaults.

Creates a circular orbit that exactly repeats its ground trace after a specified number of revolutions under the influence of J2 perturbations. Its right ascension of the ascending node drifts under J2 perturbations at the same rate as the central body's orbit around the Sun (Sun-synchronous). The combination of the two effects enables this orbit to revisit its exact original ascending node longitude at exactly the same local solar time (and therefore the same lighting conditions) after the specified number of revolutions is completed. Uses Earth defaults.

Creates a circular orbit that exactly repeats its ground trace after a specified number of revolutions under the influence of J2 perturbations.

Uses Earth defaults.

Creates a circular orbit whose right ascension of the ascending node drifts under J2 perturbations at the same rate as the central body's orbit around the Sun (Sun-synchronous). Thus, the orbit would revisit its ascending node at exactly the same local solar time (and therefore the same lighting conditions) every orbit. However, it would revisit its ascending node at differing longitudes with no exact resonance.

Creates a circular orbit whose right ascension of the ascending node drifts under J2 perturbations at the same rate as the central body's orbit around the Sun (Sun-synchronous). Thus, the orbit would revisit its ascending at exactly the same local solar time (and therefore the same lighting conditions) every orbit. However, it would revisit its ascending node at differing longitudes with no exact resonance. Uses Earth defaults.

Creates a geostationary orbit that always remains above the Earth at the desired Earth-fixed longitude.

Creates an elliptical orbit with an argument of periapsis that remains constant under J2 perturbations (critically-inclined) and has an orbital period that is exactly half the rotation period of the central body (semi-synchronous).

Creates a circular orbit that exactly repeats its ground trace after a specified number of revolutions under the influence of J2 perturbations.

Creates a stationary orbit that always remains above the central body at the desired body-fixed longitude.

Creates a circular orbit whose right ascension of the ascending node drifts under J2 perturbations at the same rate as the central body's orbit around the Sun (Sun-synchronous). Thus, the orbit would revisit its ascending node at exactly the same local solar time (and therefore the same lighting conditions) every orbit.
