Get the intersection point of a line with the surface of the body.

A line may have several intersection points with a closed surface (we consider the one point case as a degenerated two points case). The close parameter is used to select which of these points should be returned. The selected point is the one that is closest to the close point.

Parameters:

line - test line (may intersect the body or not)

close - point used for intersections selection

frame - frame in which line is expressed

date - date of the line in given frame

Returns:

intersection point at altitude zero or null if the line does not intersect the surface

Transform a cartesian point to a surface-relative point.

Specified by:

Parameters:
