Add ability to access covariance information within propagation step handlers (for applicable propagators), and ability to interpolate it
From related Orekit Forum Post
Likely related to #901 (closed), though not sure if that one covers pre-existing covariance, or covariance interpolation.
The feature request would be to have covariance information available for use within propagation step handling, either as an additional state, or something else. With that, it would be nice to be able to interpolate the covariance (this would be very useful for collision avoidance usage).
It seems the way to accomplish this, would be for the getPropagator()
method (in this case coming from OemSatelliteEphemeris
) to have a special method that returns a propagator that contains covariance information.
