Class IsotropicDrag

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.forces.drag.IsotropicDrag

All Implemented Interfaces:

DragSensitive

public class IsotropicDrag
extends Object
implements DragSensitive

This class models isotropic drag effects.

The model of this spacecraft is a simple spherical model, this means that all coefficients are constant and do not depend of the direction.
