public static Cartesian DetermineClosestPoint(
	Cartesian position,
	UnitCartesian direction,
	double radius
)

Public Shared Function DetermineClosestPoint ( 
	position As Cartesian,
	direction As UnitCartesian,
	radius As Double
) As Cartesian

public:
static Cartesian DetermineClosestPoint(
	Cartesian position, 
	UnitCartesian direction, 
	double radius
)

static member DetermineClosestPoint : 
        position : Cartesian * 
        direction : UnitCartesian * 
        radius : float -> Cartesian

Parameters

position: Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesCartesian
The starting point of the directed line segment.
direction: Type: AGI.Foundation.CoordinatesUnitCartesian
The ray of the directed line segment.
radius: Type: SystemDouble
The radius of the circular equatorial orbit.

Return Value

Type: Cartesian
The closest point on a circular equatorial orbit. If at the pole and looking along the polar direction, Undefined is returned, since all points on the orbit are equidistant.

Remarks

Input and output vectors are assumed to be in the fixed frame of the central body.
