Class CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    EventDetector

    public class CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector
    extends AbstractDetector<CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector>
    Event detector for eclipses from a single, infinitely-distant light source, occulted by a spherical central body. The shadow region is cylindrical, a model less accurate than a conical one but more computationally-performant.

    The so-called g function is negative in eclipse, positive otherwise.

    • Method Detail

      • getOccultingBodyRadius

        public double getOccultingBodyRadius()
        Getter for occulting body radius.
        Returns:
        radius
      • g

        public double g​(SpacecraftState s)
        Compute the value of the switching function. This function must be continuous (at least in its roots neighborhood), as the integrator will need to find its roots to locate the events.
        Parameters:
        s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude
        Returns:
        value of the switching function

                                                          EventHandler newHandler)
        Build a new instance.
        Specified by:
        create in class AbstractDetector<CylindricalShadowEclipseDetector>
        Parameters:
        newMaxCheck - maximum checking interval (s)
        newThreshold - convergence threshold (s)
        newMaxIter - maximum number of iterations in the event time search
        newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences
        Returns:
        a new instance of the appropriate sub-type WARNING: this method will be removed in 13.0. It doesn't have the deprecated annotation because the method is abstract and shall be implemented
