All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, EventDetector

public class PerigeeAltitudeDetector
extends AbstractDetector

Finder for satellite altitude crossing events in Semi-analytical theory.

This class finds altitude events (i.e. satellite crossing a predefined altitude level above ground). The altitude computed here is the one of the perigee

The default implementation behavior is to continue propagation when ascending and to stop propagation when descending. This can be changed by overriding the eventOccurred method in a derived class.
