Class EarthZoneDetector

java.lang.Object
  org.orekit.propagation.events.AbstractDetector
      fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.events.EarthZoneDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, EventDetector

public class EarthZoneDetector
extends AbstractDetector

Detects when the satellite enters a ground zone (several zones can be defined at the same time).

The default implementation behaviour is to stop propagation when the spacecraft enters the zone and to continue when it leaves it. This can be changed by using one of the provided constructors.

Beware of the MaxCheck and Threshold parameters : if the zone is complex and the MaxCheck too large, the event detection could fail, because it would not manage to converge. To compute an approximative event even if the zone is precise and complex, set a large enough Threshold.

Constructor Detail

EarthZoneDetector

public EarthZoneDetector(BodyShape centralBody,
                         List<double[][]> zonesPoints)

Constructor for the earth zones entering detector with default maxCheck and convergence threshold.

The zones are defined by an array of geodetic points. The points must be given in the right order : from the point i to the point i + 1, if the associated vector from the center of the earth are v(i) and v(i + 1), the inside of the zone is on the side of the positive cross vector from the earth center v(i) * v(i+1).

The arcs defined by two consecutive points shall not cross each other. Two Consecutive points shall not be too close. A point shall not be exactly on the arc defined by two consecutive others.

Using that constructor, the switching function will test the spacecraft's nadir point to get the angular distance to the

border of the zones.

Parameters:

centralBody - the central body

zonesPoints - The zones : for each of the list, the points that define the zone is given as an array of {latitude, longitude}

Specified by:

init in interface EventDetector

Overrides:

init in class AbstractDetector

Parameters:

s0 - initial state

t - target time for the integration

eventOccurred

public EventDetector.Action eventOccurred(SpacecraftState s,

                                          boolean forward)
                                   throws OrekitException

Handle the event and choose what to do next.

Specified by:

eventOccurred in interface EventDetector

Specified by:

eventOccurred in class AbstractDetector

Parameters:

s - the current state information : date, kinematics, attitude

increasing - if true, the value of the switching function increases when times increases around event

forward - if true, the integration variable (time) increases during integration.

Returns:

the action performed when entering or leaving the zone.

OrekitException - if some specific error occurs

shouldBeRemoved

public boolean shouldBeRemoved()

This method is called after EventDetector.eventOccurred(org.orekit.propagation.SpacecraftState, boolean, boolean) has been triggered.

Specified by:

shouldBeRemoved in interface EventDetector

Specified by:

shouldBeRemoved in class AbstractDetector

Returns:

true if the current detector should be removed after first event detection

g

public double g(SpacecraftState s)
         throws OrekitException

Compute the value of the switching function. For each zone : if the zone has been defined with latitudes ans longitudes, this function measures the angular distance from the spacecraft's nadir point to the border of the conic field of space that defines the inside of the zone. If the zone has been defined with direction vectors, it measures the angular distance from the spacecraft itself to the border of that zone. This value is positive when the spacecraft is in the field, negative otherwise.

Specified by:

g in interface EventDetector

Specified by:

g in class AbstractDetector

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

value of the switching function

Throws:

OrekitException - if some specific error occurs

public BodyShape getCentralBodyShape()

Get the central body shape.

Returns:

the central Body shape

getFrame

public Frame getFrame()

Get the frame.

Returns:

the frame

getFOV
