Description

Interface to set and retrieve the coordinate type used to specify the orbit state.

Public Methods

Assign	Assign a new coordinate type.
AssignCartesian	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Cartesian representation
AssignClassical	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Classical representation
AssignEquinoctialPosigrade	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Equinoctial representation
AssignEquinoctialRetrograde	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Equinoctial representation
AssignGeodetic	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Geodetic representation
AssignMixedSpherical	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Mixed Spherical representation
AssignSpherical	Helper method to assign a new orbit state using Spherical representation
ConvertTo	Method to changes the coordinate type to the type specified.

Public Properties

CentralBodyName	Gets the central body.
Epoch	The state epoch
OrbitStateType	Returns the coordinate type currently being used.

Remarks

The Assign/Query methods do not support HMS, DMS, DMS_Lat or DMS_Lon values.

Example

Extends orbit state to another representation or coordinate system X

[C#] Copy Code

// orbitState can be extended to one of the other representations. 

// Here it is extended to Classical representation. 

IAgOrbitStateClassical newOrbitState = orbitState.ConvertTo(AgEOrbitStateType.eOrbitStateClassical) as IAgOrbitStateClassical; 

 

// Set the new orbit state parameters 

newOrbitState.AssignClassical(AgECoordinateSystem.eCoordinateSystemICRF, 12000000, 0, 1.8, 0, -1.8, 0);

Extends orbit state to another representation or coordinate system X

[Visual Basic .NET] Copy Code

' orbitState can be extended to one of the other representations.
' Here it is extended to Classical representation.
Dim newOrbitState As IAgOrbitStateClassical = TryCast(orbitState.ConvertTo(AgEOrbitStateType.eOrbitStateClassical), IAgOrbitStateClassical)

' Set the new orbit state parameters
 newOrbitState.AssignClassical(AgECoordinateSystem.eCoordinateSystemICRF, 12000000, 0, 1.8, 0, -1.8, _
     0)
