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