29   * ODEEventHandler} interface from <a href="https://hipparchus.org/">
30   * Hipparchus</a> but provides a space-dynamics interface to the
31   * methods.</p>
32   *
33   * <p>Events detectors are a useful solution to meet the requirements
34   * of propagators concerning discrete conditions. The state of each
35   * event detector is queried by the integrator at each step. When the
36   * sign of the underlying g switching function changes, the step is rejected
37   * and reduced, in order to make sure the sign changes occur only at steps
38   * boundaries.</p>
39   *
40   * <p>When step ends exactly at a switching function sign change, the corresponding
41   * event is triggered, by calling the {@link #eventOccurred(SpacecraftState, boolean)}
42   * method. The method can do whatever it needs with the event (logging it, performing
43   * some processing, ignore it ...). The return value of the method will be used by
44   * the propagator to stop or resume propagation, possibly changing the state vector.<p>
