Classes

CowellPropagator

Propagates orbit using Cowell's formulation.

Module Contents

class boinor.twobody.propagation.cowell.CowellPropagator(rtol=1e-11, events=None, f=func_twobody)

Propagates orbit using Cowell’s formulation.

Notes

This method uses the Dormand & Prince integration method of order 8(5,3) (DOP853). If multiple tofs are provided, the method propagates to the maximum value (unless a terminal event is defined) and calculates the other values via dense output.
