Description

SPICE propagator interface.

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

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

[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();

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

[MATLAB] Copy Code

% IAgSatellite satellite: Satellite object 
% IAgStkObjectRoot root: STK Object Model Root 
satellite.SetPropagatorType('ePropagatorSPICE'); 
propagator = satellite.propagator; 
propagator.Spice = 'C:\Program Files\AGI\STK 11\STKData\Spice\planets.bsp';   % Make sure this is a valid path 
propagator.BodyName = 'MARS'; 
 
propagator.StartTime = root.CurrentScenario.StartTime;  % Set to scenario start time 
propagator.StopTime = root.CurrentScenario.StopTime;    % Set to scenario stop time 
propagator.Step = 60.0; 
propagator.Propagate;

Set satellite propagator to SPICE and propagate

[Python] Copy Code

# IAgSatellite satellite: Satellite object 
# IAgStkObjectRoot root: STK Object Model Root 
satellite.SetPropagatorType(5) # ePropagatorSPICE 
propagator = satellite.propagator 
propagator.Spice = r'C:\Program Files\AGI\STK 11\STKData\Spice\planets.bsp'   # Make sure this is a valid path 
propagator.BodyName = 'MARS' 
 
propagator.StartTime = root.CurrentScenario.StartTime  # Set to scenario start time 
propagator.StopTime = root.CurrentScenario.StopTime#    # Set to scenario stop time 
propagator.Step = 60.0 
propagator.Propagate()
