Parameters for attitude providers

Orekit development
1

Hi all,

I wonder if we could add parameter drivers for attitude providers.
This could be interesting for example in order to optimize maneuvers directions, as the drivers would be forwarded first from overriding attitude provider to force model, then to propagator, then to optimizer.

I guess this could be added to AttitudeProvider in a minor release with a default implementation that returns an empty list of ParameterDriver.

What do you think?

Hi Luc,

So if I’m following well, with that we’d be able to get the variational equations on the thrust direction for LOF-based manoeuvres for example?

Cheers,
Romain.

Exactly.
In fact, this is akin to something Francesco asked me as he is trying to set up something using his new constrained optimization feature.

Thanks. Sounds like a good addition.

Hello,

I do think it’s a good addition too.
