org.orekit.forces.drag.DragForce

All Implemented Interfaces:

ForceModel, EventDetectorsProvider, ParameterDriversProvider

public class DragForce
extends AbstractDragForceModel

Atmospheric drag force model. The drag acceleration is computed as follows : γ = (1/2 * ρ * V² * S / Mass) * DragCoefVector With DragCoefVector = {C_x, C_y, C_z} and S given by the user through the interface DragSensitive
