Main differences between V2.0.1 and V2.1
Compatibility with PATRIUS
This version is compatible with the version 4.4 of the PATRIUS library.
New Time scales
If the default mode is the same than for the previous versions, it is now possible to customize the time scales menu of the GPAbsoluteDate widget and thus to add these additional scales (available inside the PATRIUS library) as in the example below:
ts[0] = GPDateTimeScale.GMST;
ts[1] = GPDateTimeScale.GST;
ts[2] = GPDateTimeScale.TCG;
ts[3] = GPDateTimeScale.UTC;
gpDate = new GPAbsoluteDate("Date:", date0, ts);
New maneuvers trigerring criteriae
New criteriae on nodes and apsides have been added to the previous ones (relative or absolute dates and AOL)
Impulsive maneuvers with orbital parameters criteriae
TBW ...
Recurrent date events
It is now possible to define date (relative or absolute ones) events with a recurrence (for example each day).
New widget for numerical integrators definition
New specific widgets have been created to deal with numerical integrators as some of ones defined in PATRIUS: Runge Kutta 4, Runge Kutta 6 and Dormand Price 853
Additional validity criteria on PRS coefficients
Besides validity interval of [0,1] for each coefficient, there is an additional test on the sum of the three coefficients (absorption, specular and diffuse) that must be equal to 1.
Best management of consistency between force model and vehicle panels
In the previous versions, if we decided to select an atmospheric model without entering data on mass and aerodynamic coefficients, the error was only detected when launching the propagation. Now it is detected sooner and the vehicle tab become red as it is in error mode.
By default attitude law
Now an attitude law is defined by default (TNW) to avoid to select if it is not critical.
New autonomous tool to work on orbit data
TBW …
Anomaly corrections
- Impossibility to initialize an orbit using a H0-n frame.
- Calling GPVisibilityFromStationDetector or GPAttitudeSequence widgets make the tool incompatible with a headless mode (no display).
