/** Detects when spacecraft comes close to a moving beacon, as seen from a moving observer.
* <p>The main use case for this detector is when the observer is in fact a ground
* station, modeled as a {@link org.orekit.frames.TopocentricFrame} and when the beacon
* is the {@link CelestialBodies#getSun() Sun}, for computing
* interferences for the telemetry link. Another similar case is when the beacon is
* another spacecraft, for interferences computation.</p>
* <p>The default handler behavior is to {@link Action#STOP stop}
* propagation when spacecraft enters the proximity zone. This can be changed by calling
* {@link #withHandler(EventHandler)} after construction.</p>
