Constructor Detail

DSSTAtmosphericDrag

public DSSTAtmosphericDrag(Atmosphere atmosphere,
                           double cd,
                           double area)

Simple constructor assuming spherical spacecraft.

Parameters:

atmosphere - atmospheric model

cd - drag coefficient

area - cross sectionnal area of satellite

DSSTAtmosphericDrag

public DSSTAtmosphericDrag(Atmosphere atmosphere,
                           DragSensitive spacecraft)

Simple constructor with custom spacecraft.

Parameters:

atmosphere - atmospheric model

spacecraft - spacecraft model

Method Detail

getAtmosphere

public Atmosphere getAtmosphere()

Get the atmospheric model.

Returns:

atmosphere model

getRbar

public double getRbar()

Get the critical distance.

The critical distance from the center of the central body aims at defining the atmosphere entry/exit.

Returns:

the critical distance from the center of the central body (m)

getEventsDetectors

public EventDetector[] getEventsDetectors()

Get the discrete events related to the model.

Returns:

array of events detectors or null if the model is not related to any discrete events

getLLimits

protected double[] getLLimits(SpacecraftState state)
                       throws OrekitException

Compute the limits in L, the true longitude, for integration.

Specified by:

getLLimits in class AbstractGaussianContribution

Parameters:

state - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

the integration limits in L

Throws:

OrekitException - if some specific error occurs

getSpacecraft

public DragSensitive getSpacecraft()

Get spacecraft shape.

Returns:

spacecraft shape
