Description

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

Public Methods

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

Public Properties

CentralBodyName	Gets the central body.
Epoch	Gets or sets 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#]

// 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]

' 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)
