The Orekit team is pleased to announce the release of Orekit version 11.3.
This is a minor version, including both new features and bug fixes.
Highlights in the 11.3 release are:
- The unscented Kalman filter (numerical version)
- The semi-analytical unscented Kalman filter (DSST version)
- A new PVCoordinatesProvider modelling waypoints on an ellipsoid following a loxodrome (commonly, a rhum bline)
- A new method to compute hyperbolic anomaly based on Gooding and Odell algorithm
- A new built-in additional state for covariance propagation (linear method based on the state transition matrix computation)
- With a new state covariance object allowing covariance transformation between frames and orbit types
- The extrapolation of the state covariance matrix using a Keplerian model
- And the ability to extrapolate a state covariance matrix using a Keplerian model
- The migration of all JUnit tests from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5
- The ability to estimate measurement parameters (station position or clock biases) from an ephemeris
- New methods to convert from/to Orekit frames and CCSDS frames
- Improvements of CCSDS CDM (Collision Data Message) parsers
- Improvements in date handling and aggregate bounded propagators
- Several bug fixes and documentation improvements
This release also include a new tutorial for maneuvers’ thrusts and dates estimation.
This version depends on Hipparchus 2.3.
