Gets a point representing the location of the physical center of mass of the planet Saturn in a reference frame centered at the current value of SaturnSystemBarycenter.
Public propertySaturnSystemBarycenter
Gets or sets a point representing the location of the barycenter of the Saturn planetary system. Setting this point will also cause the points in this class representing Saturn and its moons to be modeled as orbiting this updated point.

Methods
  NameDescription
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from JplSpkEphemerisProvider.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(JplSpkEphemerisProvider)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from SaturnBspEphemerisProvider.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(Sat441BspEphemerisProvider)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(SaturnBspEphemerisProvider)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Overrides SaturnBspEphemerisProviderCheckForSameDefinition(SaturnBspEphemerisProvider).)
Public methodClone
Clones this object using the specified context.
(Overrides SaturnBspEphemerisProviderClone(CopyContext).)
Protected methodComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode
Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject) method.
(Overrides SaturnBspEphemerisProviderComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode.)
Public methodEnumerateDependencies
Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling EnumerateT(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.
(Overrides SaturnBspEphemerisProviderEnumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator).)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodFreeze
Freezes this object. Further attempts to modify it will result in an ObjectFrozenException.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Protected methodFreezeAggregatedObjects
Called by Freeze to also freeze any objects that are considered to be a part of this object. Derived classes which contain additional aggregated objects MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and freeze aggregated objects introduced by the derived class. The objects that need to be frozen in this method are frequently created in this object's constructor and are not settable via properties.
(Overrides SaturnBspEphemerisProviderFreezeAggregatedObjects.)
Public methodGetDefinitionHashCode
Gets a hash code representing the definition of this object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodIsSameDefinition
Determines if this object has the same definition as another object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodThrowIfFrozen
Throws ObjectFrozenException if this object IsFrozen. This method should be called from any method or property that modifies this object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodUseForCentralBodyPositions
Uses this ephemeris provider for the positions of the centers of mass of the nine major moons of Saturn in the specified CentralBodiesFacet instance. This also sets the positions of the SaturnSystemBarycenter and SaturnCentralBody. Minor moons of Saturn (e.g. Helene, Telesto, Calypso, Polydeuces, and Methone) are not central bodies, so their points are not used by this method.
(Overrides SaturnBspEphemerisProviderUseForCentralBodyPositions(CentralBodiesFacet).)

Remarks

The sat441.bsp ephemeris file is available from the website of the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) of JPL. This file is massive (646 MB) because it contains data that extends hundreds of years into the past and future for astronomical purposes. There is a small text sat441.cmt file in that directory that contains information about what data is contained within the sat441.bsp file.
