Constructor Detail

StelaCd

public StelaCd(double inCd)

Simple constructor for a constant Cd.

Parameters:

inCd - the constant value of the cd

StelaCd

public StelaCd(Map<Double,Double> inCd,
               double rEq,
               double f)

Constructor for a Cd model depending on spacecraft altitude.

Parameters:

inCd - the map containing the Cd value with respect to the geodetic altitude of the spacecraft

rEq - the Earth radius

f - the Earth flattening

Method Detail

getCd

public double getCd(Vector3D position)
             throws PatriusException

Compute the value of the Cd coefficient depending on spacecraft altitude.

Parameters:

position - the spacecraft position in the inertial frame

Returns:

the value of the drag coefficient

Throws:

PatriusException - if error while computing geodetic altitude
