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 = -20.0;
impact.Lon = -20.0;
impact.Alt = 0.0;

// Propagate Missile
trajectory.Propagate();

Configure the Ballistic propagator

[C#]

propagator.Step = 30;
propagator.SetLaunchType(AgEVeLaunch.eLaunchLLA);

IAgVeLaunchLLA launch = propagator.Launch as IAgVeLaunchLLA;
launch.Lat = 40.040;
launch.Lon = -76.304;
launch.Alt = 1.5;

propagator.SetImpactLocationType(AgEVeImpactLocation.eImpactLocationPoint);

IAgVeImpactLocationPoint impactLocation = propagator.ImpactLocation as IAgVeImpactLocationPoint;
impactLocation.SetImpactType(AgEVeImpact.eImpactLLA);
impactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedDeltaV);

IAgVeImpactLLA impact = impactLocation.Impact as IAgVeImpactLLA;
impact.Lat = 40.337;
impact.Lon = -75.922;
impact.Alt = 0.0;

IAgVeLaunchControlFixedDeltaV fixedDeltaV = impactLocation.LaunchControl as IAgVeLaunchControlFixedDeltaV;
fixedDeltaV.DeltaV = 7.545;

propagator.Propagate();

Configure the Ballistic propagator

[Visual Basic .NET]

propagator.[Step] = 30
propagator.SetLaunchType(AgEVeLaunch.eLaunchLLA)

Dim launch As IAgVeLaunchLLA = TryCast(propagator.Launch, IAgVeLaunchLLA)
launch.Lat = 40.04
launch.Lon = -76.304
launch.Alt = 1.5

propagator.SetImpactLocationType(AgEVeImpactLocation.eImpactLocationPoint)

Dim impactLocation As IAgVeImpactLocationPoint = TryCast(propagator.ImpactLocation, IAgVeImpactLocationPoint)
impactLocation.SetImpactType(AgEVeImpact.eImpactLLA)
impactLocation.SetLaunchControlType(AgEVeLaunchControl.eLaunchControlFixedDeltaV)

Dim impact As IAgVeImpactLLA = TryCast(impactLocation.Impact, IAgVeImpactLLA)
impact.Lat = 40.337
impact.Lon = -75.922
impact.Alt = 0

Dim fixedDeltaV As IAgVeLaunchControlFixedDeltaV = TryCast(impactLocation.LaunchControl, IAgVeLaunchControlFixedDeltaV)
fixedDeltaV.DeltaV = 7.545
