Class LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:
EventDetector

public class LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector extends AbstractGeographicalDetector<LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector>
Detector for geographic latitude crossing.

This detector identifies when a spacecraft crosses a fixed latitude range with respect to a central body.

  • Constructor Details

    • LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector

      public LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector(BodyShape body, double fromLatitude, double toLatitude)
      Build a new detector.

      The new instance uses default values for maximal checking interval (AbstractDetector.DEFAULT_MAX_CHECK) and convergence threshold (AbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

      Parameters:
      body - body on which the latitude is defined
      fromLatitude - latitude to be crossed, lower range boundary
      toLatitude - latitude to be crossed, upper range boundary
    • LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector

      public LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector(double maxCheck, double threshold, BodyShape body, double fromLatitude, double toLatitude)
      Build a detector.
      Parameters:
      maxCheck - maximal checking interval (s)
      threshold - convergence threshold (s)
      body - body on which the latitude is defined
      fromLatitude - latitude to be crossed, lower range boundary
      toLatitude - latitude to be crossed, upper range boundary
    • LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector

      protected LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector(EventDetectionSettings detectionSettings, EventHandler handler, BodyShape body, double fromLatitude, double toLatitude)
      Private constructor with full parameters.

      This constructor is private as users are expected to use the builder API with the various withXxx() methods to set up the instance in a readable manner without using a huge amount of parameters.

      Parameters:
      detectionSettings - event detection settings
      handler - event handler to call at event occurrences
      body - body on which the latitude is defined
      fromLatitude - latitude to be crossed, lower range boundary
      toLatitude - latitude to be crossed, upper range boundary
      Since:
      13.0
  • Method Details

    • create

      protected LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector create(EventDetectionSettings detectionSettings, EventHandler newHandler)
      Build a new instance.
      Specified by:
      create in class AbstractDetector<LatitudeRangeCrossingDetector>
      Parameters:
      detectionSettings - detection settings
      newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences
      Returns:
      a new instance of the appropriate sub-type
    • getFromLatitude

      public double getFromLatitude()
      Get the fixed latitude range to be crossed (radians), lower boundary.
      Returns:
      fixed lower boundary latitude range to be crossed (radians)
    • getToLatitude

      public double getToLatitude()
      Get the fixed latitude range to be crossed (radians), upper boundary.
      Returns:
      fixed lower boundary latitude range to be crossed (radians)
    • g

      public double g(SpacecraftState s)
      Compute the value of the detection function.

      The value is positive if the spacecraft latitude is inside the latitude range. It is positive if the spacecraft is northward to lower boundary range and southward to upper boundary range, with respect to the fixed latitude range.

      Parameters:
      s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude
      Returns:
      positive if spacecraft inside the range
