LOP Force (Satellites)
Set the LOP force parameters for a satellite using the LOP propagator
Syntax
LOP <SatObjectPath> Force {ForceOption} <Parameters>
Description
The LOP Force command enables you to set the LOP force parameters for a satellite using the LOP propagator by specifying a {ForceOption} and necessary parameters.
{ForceOption} can be:
| {ForceOption} | <Parameters> | Description |
|---|---|---|
| EarthGravity | <MaxDegree> <MaxOrder> | <MaxDegree> and <MaxOrder> are real numbers between 0 and 1000. <MaxDegree> must be greater or equal to <MaxOrder>. |
| ThirdBodyGravity | {UseSolarGrav} {UseLunarGrav} | Valid values for {UseSolarGrav} and {UseLunarGrav} are On or Off. |
| SolarRadPressure | {On | Off} <Cp> <AtmosphereHeight> <CrossSectionArea> | <Cp> is between -100.0 and 100.0. <AtmosphereHeight> is entered in Connect distance units and is between 63640.0 and 1000000.0 meters. <CrossSectionArea> is entered in m**2 and is between 0.00001 and 99999.9 |
Examples
To set the LOP force using the EarthGravity force option:
LOP */Satellite/Satellite2 Force EarthGravity 15 14
To set the LOP force using the ThirdBodyGravity force option:
LOP */Satellite/Satellite2 Force ThirdBodyGravity On Off
To set the LOP force using the SolarRadPressure force option (with Connect distance units set to km):
LOP */Satellite/Satellite2 Force SolarRadPressure On 2.332 87.59 18.17
