All Implemented Interfaces:

EventDetector, Serializable

public class NodeDetector
extends AbstractDetector

Finder for node crossing events.

This class finds equator crossing events (i.e. ascending and/or descending node crossing).

The default implementation behavior is to stop propagation at node crossing. This can be changed by overriding one of the following constructors :

• NodeDetector : the defined action is performed at ascending OR/AND descending node depending on slope selection defined.
• NodeDetector : the defined actions are performed at ascending AND descending node.

Beware that node detection will fail for almost equatorial orbits.

shouldBeRemoved

public boolean shouldBeRemoved()

This method is called after EventDetector.eventOccurred(fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.propagation.SpacecraftState, boolean, boolean) has been triggered. It returns true if the current detector should be removed after first event detection. WARNING: this method can be called only once a event has been triggered. Before, the value is not available.

copy

public EventDetector copy()

A copy of the detector. By default copy is deep. If not, detector javadoc will specify which attribute is not fully copied. In that case, the attribute reference is passed.

The following attributes are not deeply copied:

• frame: Frame

Returns:

a copy of the detector.
