/** Finder for beta angle crossing events.
 * <p>Locate events when the beta angle (the angle between the orbit plane and the celestial body)
 * crosses a threshold. The {@link #g(SpacecraftState)} function is negative when the beta angle
 * is above the threshold and positive when the beta angle is below the threshold.</p>
 * <p>The inertial frame provided must have it's origin centered at the satellite's orbit plane. The
 * beta angle is computed as the angle between the celestial body's position in this frame with the
 * satellite's orbital momentum vector.</p>
 * <p>The default implementation behavior is to {@link Action#STOP stop}
 * propagation at the first event date occurrence. This can be changed by calling
 * {@link #withHandler(EventHandler)} after construction.</p>
