Constructor Detail

LatitudeCrossingDetector

public LatitudeCrossingDetector(BodyShape body,
                                double latitude)

Build a new detector.

The new instance uses default values for maximal checking interval (AbstractDetector.DEFAULT_MAX_CHECK) and convergence threshold (AbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

Parameters:

body - body on which the latitude is defined

latitude - latitude to be crossed

LatitudeCrossingDetector

public LatitudeCrossingDetector(double maxCheck,
                                double threshold,
                                BodyShape body,
                                double latitude)

Build a detector.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximal checking interval (s)

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

body - body on which the latitude is defined

latitude - latitude to be crossed

LatitudeCrossingDetector

public LatitudeCrossingDetector(EventDetectionSettings detectionSettings,
                                EventHandler handler,
                                BodyShape body,
                                double latitude)

Constructor with input detection settings and handler.

Parameters:

detectionSettings - event detection settings

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

body - body on which the latitude is defined

latitude - latitude to be crossed

Since:

13.0

LatitudeCrossingDetector

protected LatitudeCrossingDetector(LatitudeValueCrossingFunction eventFunction,
                                   EventDetectionSettings detectionSettings,
                                   EventHandler handler,
                                   BodyShape body)

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:

eventFunction - event function

detectionSettings - event detection settings

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

body - body on which the latitude is defined

Since:

14.0

Method Detail

create

protected LatitudeCrossingDetector create(EventDetectionSettings detectionSettings,
                                          EventHandler newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class AbstractDetector<LatitudeCrossingDetector>

Parameters:

detectionSettings - detection settings

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type

getLatitude

public double getLatitude()

Get the fixed latitude to be crossed (radians).

Returns:

fixed latitude to be crossed (radians)

g

public double g(SpacecraftState s)

Compute the value of the detection function.

The value is the spacecraft latitude minus the fixed latitude to be crossed. It is positive if the spacecraft is northward and negative if it is southward with respect to the fixed latitude.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

spacecraft latitude minus the fixed latitude to be crossed
