Package org.orekit.propagation.events

Class FieldAltitudeDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldAbstractDetector<FieldAltitudeDetector<T>,T>

org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldAltitudeDetector<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements

All Implemented Interfaces:

FieldEventDetector<T>

public class FieldAltitudeDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldAbstractDetector<FieldAltitudeDetector<T>,T>

Finder for satellite altitude crossing events.

This class finds altitude events (i.e. satellite crossing a predefined altitude level above ground).

The default implementation behavior is to continue propagation when ascending and to stop propagation when descending. This can be changed by calling FieldAbstractDetector.withHandler(FieldEventHandler) after construction.

Since:

9.0

Constructor Detail

FieldAltitudeDetector

public FieldAltitudeDetector(T altitude,
                             BodyShape bodyShape)

Build a new altitude detector.

This simple constructor takes default values for maximal checking interval (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_MAXCHECK) and convergence threshold (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

Parameters:

altitude - threshold altitude value

bodyShape - body shape with respect to which altitude should be evaluated

FieldAltitudeDetector

public FieldAltitudeDetector(T maxCheck,
                             T altitude,
                             BodyShape bodyShape)

Build a new altitude detector.

This simple constructor takes default value for convergence threshold (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

The maximal interval between altitude checks should be smaller than the half duration of the minimal pass to handle, otherwise some short passes could be missed.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximal checking interval (s)

altitude - threshold altitude value (m)

bodyShape - body shape with respect to which altitude should be evaluated

FieldAltitudeDetector

public FieldAltitudeDetector(T maxCheck,
                             T threshold,
                             T altitude,
                             BodyShape bodyShape)

Build a new altitude detector.

The maximal interval between altitude checks should be smaller than the half duration of the minimal pass to handle, otherwise some short passes could be missed.

The maximal interval between altitude checks should be smaller than the half duration of the minimal pass to handle, otherwise some short passes could be missed.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximal checking interval (s)

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

altitude - threshold altitude value (m)

bodyShape - body shape with respect to which altitude should be evaluated

FieldAltitudeDetector

protected FieldAltitudeDetector(FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
                                FieldEventHandler<T> handler,
                                T altitude,
                                BodyShape bodyShape)

Protected constructor with full parameters.

This constructor is not public 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

altitude - threshold altitude value (m)

bodyShape - body shape with respect to which altitude should be evaluated

Since:

13.0

Method Detail

create

protected FieldAltitudeDetector<T> create(FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
                                          FieldEventHandler<T> newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class FieldAbstractDetector<FieldAltitudeDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

detectionSettings - detection settings

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type

getAltitude

public T getAltitude()

Get the threshold altitude value.

Returns:

the threshold altitude value (m)

getBodyShape

public BodyShape getBodyShape()

Get the body shape.

Returns:

the body shape

g

public T g(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s)

Compute the value of the switching function. This function measures the difference between the current altitude and the threshold altitude.

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

value of the switching function
