                                     double mu)

Method to compute the acceleration. This method has been implemented in order to validate the force model only. The reason is that for the validation context, we do not want to set up an instance of the SpacecraftState object to avoid the inertial frame of the spacecraft orbit.

Method taken from CunninghamAttractionModel

Parameters:

pv - PV coordinates of the spacecraft in the rotating frame of the central body

equatorialRadius - equatorial radius of earth

coefC - C coefficients array

coefS - S coefficients array

degree - degree

order - order

mu - gravitation constant

Returns:

acceleration vector
