/**
 * Defines the encounter between two collision object at time of closest approach assuming a short-term encounter model . It
 * uses the given {@link EncounterLOFType encounter frame type} to define the encounter.
 * <p>
 * Both the primary and secondary collision object can be at the reference of the encounter frame, it is up to the user to
 * choose.
 * <p>
 * The "reference" object is the object considered at the reference of the given encounter frame while the "other" object is
 * the one <b>not placed</b> at the reference.
 * <p>
 * For example, if the user wants the primary to be at the reference of the default encounter frame, they will have to input
 * data in the following manner:
 * <pre>{@code
 * final FieldShortTermEncounter2DDefinition encounter = new FieldShortTermEncounter2DDefinition<>(primaryOrbitAtTCA, primaryCovarianceAtTCA, primaryRadius, secondaryOrbitAtTCA, secondaryCovarianceAtTCA, secondaryRadius);
 *  }
 * </pre>
 * However, if the user wants to put the secondary at the reference and use the
 * {@link org.orekit.frames.encounter.ValsecchiEncounterFrame Valsecchi encounter frame}, they will have to type :
 * <pre>{@code
 * final FieldShortTermEncounter2DDefinition encounter = new FieldShortTermEncounter2DDefinition<>(secondaryOrbitAtTCA, secondaryCovarianceAtTCA, secondaryRadius, primaryOrbitAtTCA, primaryCovarianceAtTCA, primaryRadius, EncounterLOFType.VALSECCHI_2003);
 *  }
 * </pre>
 * Note that in the current implementation, the shape of the collision objects is assumed to be a sphere.
