HCW.SetReferenceOrbit Method

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.

Overload List

Signatures	Return Value	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 ICRF. 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 ICRF. 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.
