Method Detail

radiationPressureAcceleration

Vector3D radiationPressureAcceleration(SpacecraftState state,
                                       Vector3D flux)
                                       throws OrekitException

Compute the acceleration due to radiation pressure.

The computation includes all spacecraft specific characteristics like shape, area and coefficients.

Parameters:

state - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

flux - radiation flux in the same inertial frame as spacecraft orbit

Returns:

spacecraft acceleration in the same inertial frame as spacecraft orbit (m/s²)

Throws:

OrekitException - if acceleration cannot be computed
