public class SolarRadiationPressure
extends AbstractRadiationForceModel

Solar radiation pressure force model.

Since Orekit 11.0, it is possible to take into account the eclipses generated by Moon in the solar radiation pressure force model using the AbstractRadiationForceModel.addOccultingBody(ExtendedPositionProvider, double) method.

Example:
SolarRadiationPressure srp = new SolarRadiationPressure(CelestialBodyFactory.getSun(), Constants.EIGEN5C_EARTH_EQUATORIAL_RADIUS, new IsotropicRadiationClassicalConvention(50.0, 0.5, 0.5));
srp.addOccultingBody(CelestialBodyFactory.getMoon(), Constants.MOON_EQUATORIAL_RADIUS);

Constructor Detail

SolarRadiationPressure

public SolarRadiationPressure(ExtendedPositionProvider sun,
                              OneAxisEllipsoid centralBody,
                              RadiationSensitive spacecraft)

Simple constructor with default reference values.

When this constructor is used, the reference values are:

• d_ref = 149597870000.0 m
• p_ref = 4.56 10^-6 N/m²

Parameters:

sun - Sun model

centralBody - central body shape model (for umbra/penumbra computation)

spacecraft - the object physical and geometrical information

Since:

12.0

SolarRadiationPressure

public SolarRadiationPressure(double dRef,
                              double pRef,
                              ExtendedPositionProvider sun,
                              OneAxisEllipsoid centralBody,
                              RadiationSensitive spacecraft)

Complete constructor.

Note that reference solar radiation pressure pRef in N/m² is linked to solar flux SF in W/m² using formula pRef = SF/c where c is the speed of light (299792458 m/s). So at 1UA a 1367 W/m² solar flux is a 4.56 10^-6 N/m² solar radiation pressure.

Parameters:

dRef - reference distance for the solar radiation pressure (m)

pRef - reference solar radiation pressure at dRef (N/m²)

sun - Sun model

centralBody - central body shape model (for umbra/penumbra computation)

spacecraft - the object physical and geometrical information

Since:

12.0
