NPlateAtmosphericDragForce Properties

Gets or sets the axes defining the orientation of the spacecraft body.

Gets the Axes in which this force is defined. For drag, the Axes are taken from the fixed frame of the CentralBody used for the Density. Also note that while the drag force is defined in the fixed frame, forces are considered to be "inertial" for the purposes of Newtonian kinematics, and no kinematic transformation apart from a simple rotation is necessary when converting to an inertial frame. If the Density property is , then this property will also return .

Gets or sets the atmospheric model used to calculate density at the location of the TargetPoint.

Gets the Vector representation of this force.

Gets or sets the body that is used to determine the direction that solar panel plates face (typically, the Sun).

Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.

Gets an enumeration indicating the nature of this force and whether it implicitly includes mass.

Gets or sets a collection that models the spacecraft's body as a collection of individual plates with oriented surface areas and drag coefficients. All plates in this collection must be DragPlates.

Gets the role that this force plays in a combined resultant force. In particular, it indicates whether this force is dominant and easy to compute or whether it is a small perturbation that is expensive to compute.

Gets the point at which the drag is applied from the TargetPoint of the Density. If the Density property is , then this property will also return .
