NPlateSolarRadiationForce Properties

The NPlateSolarRadiationForce type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyBodyAxes
Gets or sets the axes defining the orientation of the spacecraft body.
Public propertyDefinedInAxes
Gets the axes in which this force is defined. For solar radiation, the axes are taken from the inertial frame of the IlluminatingBody on the OccultationFactor. If the OccultationFactor property is , then this property will also return .
Public propertyForceVector
Gets the Vector representation of this force.
(Inherited from ForceModel.)
Public propertyIsFrozen
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.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public propertyKind
Gets an enumeration indicating the nature of this force and whether it implicitly includes mass.
(Inherited from ForceModel.)
Public propertyLuminosity
Gets or sets the solar luminosity used to model the solar radiation pressure. By default, this is set to SolarLuminosity2015IauResolutionB3.
Public propertyNPlateModel
Gets or sets a collection that models the spacecraft's body as a collection of individual plates with oriented surface areas, specular reflectivity coefficients, and diffuse reflectivity coefficients. All plates in this collection must be SolarRadiationPlates.
Public propertyOccultationFactor
Gets or sets the scalar modeling the amount of occultation at the location of the TargetPoint.
Public propertyRole
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.
(Inherited from ForceModel.)
Public propertyTargetPoint
Gets the point at which the solar radiation is applied from the TargetPoint of the OccultationFactor. If the OccultationFactor property is , then this property will also return .
Public propertyVectorType
Gets the RadiationVectorType from the VectorType of the OccultationFactor. If the OccultationFactor property is , then this property will return CorrectForLightTimeDelayAndAberration.
