Class StkSatelliteDatabase

java.lang.Object

agi.foundation.stk.StkSatelliteDatabase

public class StkSatelliteDatabase
extends Object

Provides access to an STK satellite database.

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

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();
query.setCommonName(Pattern.compile("QUICK"));
query.setMinimumApogee(200000.0);

// Get the database entries matching the query and print out the SSC number of each.
for (StkSatelliteDatabaseEntry entry : db.getEntries(query)) {
    System.out.println(entry.getSatelliteNumber());
}

For more information on the files that define the satellite database, see the the Satellite Database Files topic.
