Example

Define missile trajectory

[C#]

// Set missile trajectory type
missile.SetTrajectoryType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorBallistic);

// Retrieve the Propagator interface
IAgVePropagatorBallistic trajectory = missile.Trajectory as IAgVePropagatorBallistic;

// Set propagator settings if they should be other than defaults
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000");
trajectory.Step = 60.0;

// Set flight parameters
trajectory.SetLaunchType(AgEVeLaunch.eLaunchLLA);
IAgVeLaunchLLA launch = trajectory.Launch as IAgVeLaunchLLA;
launch.Lat = 0.0;
launch.Lon = 0.0;
launch.Alt = 0.0;

// Set impact location type
trajectory.SetImpactLocationType(AgEVeImpactLocation.eImpactLocationPoint);

// Retrieve the impact point interface
IAgVeImpactLocationPoint impactLocation = trajectory.ImpactLocation as IAgVeImpactLocationPoint;
impactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight);

// Retrieve the launch flight interface
IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight launchControl = impactLocation.LaunchControl as IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight;
launchControl.TimeOfFlight = 9000.0;

// Configure missile Impact parameters
impactLocation.SetImpactType(AgEVeImpact.eImpactLLA);
IAgVeImpactLLA impact = impactLocation.Impact as IAgVeImpactLLA;
impact.Lat = 12.0;
impact.Lon = 5.0;
impact.Alt = 0.0;

// Propagate Missile
trajectory.Propagate();

Define missile trajectory

[Visual Basic .NET]

' Set missile trajectory type
missile.SetTrajectoryType(AgEVePropagatorType.ePropagatorBallistic)

' Retrieve the Propagator interface
Dim trajectory As IAgVePropagatorBallistic = TryCast(missile.Trajectory, IAgVePropagatorBallistic)

' Set propagator settings if they should be other than defaults
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval("1 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000", "2 Jan 2012 12:00:00.000")
trajectory.[Step] = 60

' Set flight parameters
trajectory.SetLaunchType(AgEVeLaunch.eLaunchLLA)
Dim launch As IAgVeLaunchLLA = TryCast(trajectory.Launch, IAgVeLaunchLLA)
launch.Lat = 0
launch.Lon = 0
launch.Alt = 0

' Set impact location type
trajectory.SetImpactLocationType(AgEVeImpactLocation.eImpactLocationPoint)

' Retrieve the impact point interface
Dim impactLocation As IAgVeImpactLocationPoint = TryCast(trajectory.ImpactLocation, IAgVeImpactLocationPoint)
impactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight)

' Retrieve the launch flight interface
Dim launchControl As IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight = TryCast(impactLocation.LaunchControl, IAgVeLaunchControlFixedTimeOfFlight)
launchControl.TimeOfFlight = 9000

' Configure missile Impact parameters
impactLocation.SetImpactType(AgEVeImpact.eImpactLLA)
Dim impact As IAgVeImpactLLA = TryCast(impactLocation.Impact, IAgVeImpactLLA)
impact.Lat = 12
impact.Lon = 5
impact.Alt = 0

' Propagate Missile
trajectory.Propagate()

Create a New Missile (on the current scenario central body)

[Python]

# IAgScenario scenario: Scenario object
missile = scenario.Children.New(13, 'MyMissile')  # eMissile
missile.SetTrajectoryType(10)  # ePropagatorBallistic
trajectory = missile.Trajectory
root.UnitPreferences.SetCurrentUnit('DateFormat', 'EpSec')
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval(0, 0)  # stop time later computed based on propagation
trajectory.Launch.Lat = 29
trajectory.Launch.Lon = -81
trajectory.ImpactLocation.Impact.Lat = 27
trajectory.ImpactLocation.Impact.Lon = -43
trajectory.ImpactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(0)  # eLaunchControlFixedApogeeAlt
trajectory.impactLocation.LaunchControl.ApogeeAlt = 1200   # km
trajectory.Propagate()

Create a New Missile (on the current scenario central body)

[MATLAB]

% IAgScenario scenario: Scenario object
missile = scenario.Children.New('eMissile', 'MyMissile');
missile.SetTrajectoryType('ePropagatorBallistic');
trajectory = missile.Trajectory;
root.UnitPreferences.Item('DateFormat').SetCurrentUnit('EpSec');
trajectory.EphemerisInterval.SetExplicitInterval(0, 0) % stop time later computed based on propagation
trajectory.Launch.Lat = 29;
trajectory.Launch.Lon = -81;
trajectory.ImpactLocation.Impact.Lat = 27;
trajectory.ImpactLocation.Impact.Lon = -43;
trajectory.ImpactLocation.SetLaunchControlType('eLaunchControlFixedApogeeAlt');
trajectory.impactLocation.LaunchControl.ApogeeAlt = 1200;   % km
trajectory.Propagate();
