Examples

The following example shows how to query the satellite database for satellites matching certain criteria:

Copy

StkSatelliteDatabase db = new StkSatelliteDatabase(dbDirectory, "stkSatDb");

// Create a query object and then populate it with the properties to query on.
// Regular expressions are used to query on strings.
StkSatelliteDatabaseQuery query = new StkSatelliteDatabaseQuery
{
    CommonName = new Regex("QUICK"),
    MinimumApogee = 200000.0,
};

// Get the database entries matching the query and print out the SSC number of each.
foreach (StkSatelliteDatabaseEntry entry in db.GetEntries(query))
{
    Console.WriteLine(entry.SatelliteNumber);
}
