Description

Object Model

Public Methods

Propagate

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

Public Properties

AvailableBodyNames	Gets a list of available body names
BodyName	Body name.
EphemerisInterval	The propagator's ephemeris interval.
Segments	Get the segment list.
Spice	Name of SPICE file.
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.

Example

Configure the SPICE propagator

[C#]	Copy Code
// Set the SPICE file  propagator.Spice = spiceFile;    // Configure time period  propagator.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000");  propagator.Step = 60.0;  propagator.BodyName = "-200000";    // Propagate  propagator.Propagate();

Set the satellite to use the SPICE propagator

[C#]	Copy Code
// Set propagator to SPICE  satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorSPICE);    // Get the SPICE propagator  IAgVePropagatorSPICE propagator = satellite.Propagator as IAgVePropagatorSPICE;

Configure the SPICE propagator

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Set the SPICE file propagator.Spice = spiceFile ' Configure time period propagator.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000") propagator.[Step] = 60 propagator.BodyName = "-200000" ' Propagate propagator.Propagate()

Set the satellite to use the SPICE propagator

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

Set satellite propagator to SPICE and propagate
