ORB_prop

ANSI-C program: ORB_prop.c

NAME
ORB_prop -Calculate additional state vectors using orbit propagation and interpolation

SYNOPSIS
ORB_prop <PROC_par> [nstate] [interval] [extra]

<PROC_par> MSP processing parameter file
[nstate] number of state vectors to calculate
(enter - for a value determined from the duration of the existing state vectors)
[interval] time interval between state vectors (default: input state vector time interval)
[extra]
extra time for state vector coverage at start and end of image (default= 30.0 s.)

EXAMPLE
ORB_prop p05263.slc.par - 10. 30.

DESCRIPTION
ORB_prop calculates additional state vectors given at least one state vector in the MSP image parameter file. This program is useful in generating state vectors that extend outside of the image bounds that are required for geocoding applications. New state vectors are calculated by polynomial interpolation if there are more than 1 existing state vector. If there is only one state vector, then the new state vectors are generated by integration of Newton's equation of motion.
