Asking for suggestions
Dear Developers,
As you can see I submitted a preliminary version of the demo app.
I had some problems with saving the configuration of numerical
propagators, especially with building a force model and saving it in the
DB for successive propagations of each satellite. I would like to avoid
the user to reconfigure a forces' model every time a propagation has to
be started, that's why I am trying to save this configuration in the
DB.
For the moment, you can use Keplerian and TLE propagators, since they
are very easy to use and to configure: I saved them with a simple String
field in the DB, but I would need a more structured solution. Luc just
gave me some suggestion, but I wanted to explain to all of you the
reason of the current temporary approach.
Then, some features to update and edit existing objects still miss
(Scenarios, Satellites and Ground Stations) and I am working on
selecting from runtime the Events to be considered in propagation. Since
they could change from one propagation to another I decided not to save
them in DB.
For any type of suggestion, hint for editing, changing, improvements or highlighting, please let me know.
Thank you for your support,
My best ragards,
Roberta
