US76

public US76(BodyShape earthBody)

Simple constructor for class US76

Parameters:

earthBody - earth body

Method Detail

getTemp

public double getTemp(AbsoluteDate date,
                      Vector3D position,
                      Frame frame)
               throws OrekitException

Get the local temperature for altitude in interval [0, 1E6] m

Note: if altitude < 0 m or altitude > 1E6 m the temperature corresponding to the closest bound is returned.

Parameters:

date - date to compute temperature, pression, and density

position - position vector

frame - frame where the position vector is expressed

Returns:

Cached Temperature

Throws:

OrekitException - OrekitException if point cannot be converted to body frame

getPress

public double getPress(AbsoluteDate date,
                       Vector3D position,
                       Frame frame)
                throws OrekitException

Get the local pressure for altitude in interval [0, 1E6] m

Note: if altitude < 0 m or altitude > 1E6 m the pressure corresponding to the closest bound is returned.

Parameters:

date - date to compute temperature, pression, and density

position - position vector

frame - frame where the position vector is expressed

Returns:

Cached Temperature

Throws:

OrekitException - OrekitException if point cannot be converted to body frame

getDensity

public double getDensity(AbsoluteDate date,
                         Vector3D position,
                         Frame frame)
                  throws OrekitException

Get the local density for altitude in interval [0, 1E6] m

Note: if altitude < 0 m or altitude > 1E6 m the density corresponding to the closest bound is returned.

Specified by:

getDensity in interface Atmosphere

Parameters:

date - date

position - position vector

frame - frame where the position vector is expressed

Returns:

density value (kg / m³)

Throws:

OrekitException - OrekitException if point cannot be converted to body frame

getVelocity

public Vector3D getVelocity(AbsoluteDate date,
                            Vector3D position,

Get the spacecraft velocity relative to the atmosphere.

Specified by:

getVelocity in interface Atmosphere

Parameters:

date - current date

position - current position in frame

frame - the frame in which is defined the position

Returns:

velocity (m/s) (defined in the same frame as the position)

Throws:
