29 * <p>The main use case for this detector is when the observer is in fact a ground
30 * station, modeled as a {@link org.orekit.frames.TopocentricFrame} and when the beacon
31 * is the {@link CelestialBodies#getSun() Sun}, for computing
32 * interferences for the telemetry link. Another similar case is when the beacon is
33 * another spacecraft, for interferences computation.</p>
34 * <p>The default handler behavior is to {@link Action#STOP stop}
