Integrate predefined impulse maneuver in LOF Frame

Orekit Python Wrapper usage
1

Hey everyone,

I’m having some trouble figuring out the best way to define an ImpulseManeuver with a specific ignition date, Δv vector, and specific impulse. My goal is to express the Δv vector in the Local Orbital Frame (LOF) rather than the satellite frame (in my case, TEME).

Could someone guide me on how to predefine a maneuver so that the Δv vector is properly expressed in the LOF frame during propagation?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello @max_gze,

You can use LofOffset as your AttitudeProvider when you construct the maneuver to do exactly what you want.

Best regards,
Emiliano
