Description
The Two Body propagator is a simple orbit propagator which assumes unperturbed central force motion. See expanded description.
Two Body generates simple Keplerian motion (i.e. two-body motion with no perturbing forces). It produces Keplerian motion around the Earth. This propagator is the fastest but least accurate of those available in the FreeFlyer. The performance of this propagator provides benefits to performing early mission concept development or in visualization when only modest accuracy requirements are needed. Force model settings are ignored for the Two Body propagator.
Note: The Two Body propagator propagates a Keplerian state. All other propagators integrate the MJ2000 Cartesian state. |
