OrbitalElementsComputeTimeOfFlight Method |
Calculates the time of flight between two true anomalies.
Namespace: AGI.Foundation.Coordinates
Assembly: AGI.Foundation.Core (in AGI.Foundation.Core.dll) Version: 24.3.420.0 (24.3.420.0)
Syntaxpublic static double ComputeTimeOfFlight( double initialTrueAnomaly, double finalTrueAnomaly, double radiusOfPeriapsis, double eccentricity, double gravitationalParameter )
Parameters
- initialTrueAnomaly
- Type: SystemDouble
The initial true anomaly (radians). - finalTrueAnomaly
- Type: SystemDouble
The final true anomaly (radians). - radiusOfPeriapsis
- Type: SystemDouble
The radius of periapsis (distance). - eccentricity
- Type: SystemDouble
The eccentricity of the orbit. - gravitationalParameter
- Type: SystemDouble
The gravitational parameter (distance cubed per time squared).
Return Value
Type: DoubleThe time of flight (time).
Exceptions| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | Thrown when eccentricity is negative or radiusOfPeriapsis or gravitationalParameter is negative or zero or if initialTrueAnomaly or initialTrueAnomaly are not within the valid range for the type of orbit; otherwise . |
RemarksThe sign of the true anomaly indicates whether the position in orbit was measured before or after crossing periapsis.
