Public Methods

Propagate

Propagates the satellite's path using the specified time interval.

Public Properties

AutoUpdate	Allows configuring the auto-update parameters and settings.
AutoUpdateEnabled	Whether automatic update is enabled.
CommonTasks	Most commonly used tasks such as importing of TLEs, etc.
EphemerisInterval	The propagator's ephemeris interval.
Segments	Get the element set list.
Settings	Propagator settings.
StartTime	This property is deprecated. Use EphemerisInterval to configure the propagation interval. Start time. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
Step	Step size. Uses Time Dimension.
StopTime	This property is deprecated. Use EphemerisInterval to configure the propagation interval. Stop time. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
UseScenarioAnalysisTime	This property is deprecated. Use the new Timeline API components to configure the propagator's analysis time. Whether the scenario analysis start/stop times shall be used.

Example

Configure the SGP4 propagator with file source

[C#]	Copy Code
// Configure propagator's TLE file path  propagator.CommonTasks.AddSegsFromFile("2215", tleFilePath);    // Propagate  propagator.Propagate();

Configure the SGP4 propagator with online source

[C#]	Copy Code
// Configure time period  propagator.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000");  propagator.Step = 60.0;    // Add segments  propagator.CommonTasks.AddSegsFromOnlineSource("25544");    // Propagate  propagator.Propagate();

Set the satellite to use the SGP4 propagator

[C#]	Copy Code
// Set propagator to SGP4  satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorSGP4);    // Get the SGP4 propagator  IAgVePropagatorSGP4 propagator = satellite.Propagator as IAgVePropagatorSGP4;

Configure the SGP4 propagator with file source

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Configure propagator's TLE file path propagator.CommonTasks.AddSegsFromFile("2215", tleFilePath) ' Propagate propagator.Propagate()

Configure the SGP4 propagator with online source

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Configure time period propagator.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000") propagator.[Step] = 60 ' Add segments propagator.CommonTasks.AddSegsFromOnlineSource("25544") ' Propagate propagator.Propagate()

Set the satellite to use the SGP4 propagator

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Set propagator to SGP4 satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorSGP4) ' Get the SGP4 propagator Dim propagator As IAgVePropagatorSGP4 = TryCast(satellite.Propagator, IAgVePropagatorSGP4)

Set satellite propagator to SGP4 and propagate

[MATLAB]	Copy Code
% IAgSatellite satellite: Satellite object  satellite.SetPropagatorType('ePropagatorSGP4');  propagator = satellite.Propagator;  propagator.UseScenarioAnalysisTime;  propagator.CommonTasks.AddSegsFromOnlineSource('25544'); % International Space Station  propagator.AutoUpdateEnabled = true;  propagator.Propagate;
