Top 

Description

Sets the reference orbit of the calling HCW propagator. The reference orbit will be propagated with a two body (Keplerian) propagator when this Spacecraft is stepped.

Description

HCW.SetReferenceOrbit(Array referenceOrbit)

None

Sets the reference orbit of the HCW propagator using the specified Keplerian orbital elements (A, E, I, RAAN, W, TA) with respect to the MJ2000 Earth Equator frame. The reference orbit will be propagated with a two body (Keplerian) propagator when this Spacecraft is stepped.

HCW.SetReferenceOrbit(Spacecraft referenceSpacecraft)

None

Sets the reference orbit of the HCW propagator by copying the current Keplerian state from the specified referenceSpacecraft. The reference orbit will be propagated with a two body (Keplerian) propagator when this Spacecraft is stepped.

HCW.SetReferenceOrbit(Array referenceOrbit, TimeSpan referenceEpoch)

None

Sets the reference orbit of the HCW propagator using the specified Keplerian orbital elements (A, E, I, RAAN, W, TA) with respect to the MJ2000 Earth Equator frame. The reference orbit will be propagated with a two body (Keplerian) propagator when this Spacecraft is stepped. The epoch argument is optional; in the event that an epoch is not provided, the referenceOrbit will use the calling Spacecraft's epoch.
