Description

HPOP propagator interface.

Public Methods

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

Public Properties

Covariance	Get the covariance parameters.
EphemerisInterval	The propagator's ephemeris interval.
ForceModel	Get the force model parameters.
InitialState	Get the satellite's initial state.
Integrator	Get the integrator parameters.
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 HPOP propagator

[C#]

// Set satellite propagator to HPOP
satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorHPOP);

// Get the HPOP propagator
IAgVePropagatorHPOP propagator = satellite.Propagator as IAgVePropagatorHPOP;

Configure the HPOP propagator

[C#]

// Set satellite propagator to HPOP
satellite.SetPropagatorType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorHPOP);

// Get IAgVePropagatorLOP interface
IAgVePropagatorHPOP hpopProp = satellite.Propagator as IAgVePropagatorHPOP;

// Configure force model
IAgVeHPOPForceModel hpopForceModel = hpopProp.ForceModel;
hpopForceModel.CentralBodyGravity.File = @"STKData\CentralBodies\Earth\GGM02C.grv";
hpopForceModel.CentralBodyGravity.MaxDegree = 45;
hpopForceModel.CentralBodyGravity.MaxOrder = 10;
hpopForceModel.CentralBodyGravity.UseOceanTides = true;

hpopForceModel.Drag.Use = true;
IAgVeHPOPDragModelSpherical hpopDragModel = hpopForceModel.Drag.DragModel as IAgVeHPOPDragModelSpherical;
hpopDragModel.Cd = 1.890000;
hpopDragModel.AreaMassRatio = 0.05;
hpopForceModel.Drag.AtmosphericDensityModel = AgEAtmosphericDensityModel.eMSIS90;

hpopForceModel.ThirdBodyGravity.RemoveThirdBody("Moon");

// Propagate
hpopProp.Propagate();
