Package org.orekit.propagation.events

Class CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.events.AbstractDetector<CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector>

org.orekit.propagation.events.CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventDetector

public class CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector
extends AbstractDetector<CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector>

Event detector for eclipses from a single, infinitely-distant light source, occulted by a spherical central body. The shadow region is cylindrical, a model less accurate than a conical one but more computationally-performant.

The so-called g function is negative in eclipse, positive otherwise.

Since:

12.1

Constructor Details

CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector

public CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector(PVCoordinatesProvider sun,
 double occultingBodyRadius,
 EventDetectionSettings eventDetectionSettings,
 EventHandler handler)

Constructor.

Parameters:

sun - light source provider (infinitely distant)

occultingBodyRadius - occulting body radius

eventDetectionSettings - detection settings

handler - event handler

Since:

12.2

CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector

public CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector(PVCoordinatesProvider sun,
 double occultingBodyRadius,
 EventHandler handler)

Constructor with default detection settings.

Parameters:

sun - light source provider

occultingBodyRadius - occulting body radius

handler - event handler

Method Details

getOccultingBodyRadius

public double getOccultingBodyRadius()

Getter for occulting body radius.

Returns:

radius

g

public double g(SpacecraftState s)

Compute the value of the switching function. This function must be continuous (at least in its roots neighborhood), as the integrator will need to find its roots to locate the events.

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

value of the switching function

create

protected CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector create(EventDetectionSettings detectionSettings,
 EventHandler newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class AbstractDetector<CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector>

Parameters:

detectionSettings - detection settings

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type
