Description

Public Methods

Propagate

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

Public Properties

EphemerisStartEpoch	If overriding the times contained in the external file, specify the time of the first ephemeris point.
EphemStart	This property is deprecated. Use EphemerisStartEpoch instead. If overriding the times contained in the external file, specify the time of the first ephemeris point. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
FileFormat	Ephemeris file format.
Filename	Name of external file.
Override	Opt whether to override times contained in the external file.
StartTime	The start time of ephemeris interval. Uses DateFormat Dimension.
Step	Step size. Uses Time Dimension.
StopTime	The stop time of ephemeris interval. Uses DateFormat Dimension.

Interfaces

Example

Create a satellite from an external ephemeris file (.e)

[C#]	Copy Code
IAgSatellite satellite = root.CurrentScenario.Children.New(AgESTKObjectType.eSatellite, "MySatellite") as IAgSatellite;    // Configure propagator's external file path  satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal);  IAgVePropagatorStkExternal ext = satellite.Propagator as IAgVePropagatorStkExternal;  ext.Filename = ephemerisFilePath;    // Propagate  ext.Propagate();

Set ground vehicle to use STK External propagator

[C#]	Copy Code
// Set groundVehicle route to STK External propagator  groundVehicle.SetRouteType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal);    // Retrieve propagator interface if necessary  IAgVePropagatorStkExternal propagator = groundVehicle.Route as IAgVePropagatorStkExternal;

Set the satellite to use the STK External propagator

[C#]	Copy Code
// Set propagator to STK External  satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal);    // Get the STK External propagator  IAgVePropagatorStkExternal propagator = satellite.Propagator as IAgVePropagatorStkExternal;

Set ship to use STK External propagator

[C#]	Copy Code
// Set ship route to STK External propagator  ship.SetRouteType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal);    // Retrieve propagator interface if necessary  IAgVePropagatorStkExternal propagator = ship.Route as IAgVePropagatorStkExternal;

[Visual Basic .NET]

Copy Code

Dim satellite As IAgSatellite = TryCast(root.CurrentScenario.Children.[New](AgESTKObjectType.eSatellite, "MySatellite"), IAgSatellite) ' Configure propagator's external file path satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal) Dim ext As IAgVePropagatorStkExternal = TryCast(satellite.Propagator, IAgVePropagatorStkExternal) ext.Filename = ephemerisFilePath ' Propagate ext.Propagate()

Set ground vehicle to use STK External propagator

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Set groundVehicle route to STK External propagator groundVehicle.SetRouteType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal) ' Retrieve propagator interface if necessary Dim propagator As IAgVePropagatorStkExternal = TryCast(groundVehicle.Route, IAgVePropagatorStkExternal)

Set the satellite to use the STK External propagator

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Set propagator to STK External satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal) ' Get the STK External propagator Dim propagator As IAgVePropagatorStkExternal = TryCast(satellite.Propagator, IAgVePropagatorStkExternal)

Set ship to use STK External propagator

[Visual Basic .NET]	Copy Code
' Set ship route to STK External propagator ship.SetRouteType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorStkExternal) ' Retrieve propagator interface if necessary Dim propagator As IAgVePropagatorStkExternal = TryCast(ship.Route, IAgVePropagatorStkExternal)
