LaunchVehicle: Shadow LLA

The location of the object's shadow on the object's central body surface, produced by the Sun at its apparent position as computed at the object's location. Note that the shadow point is defined as the intersection on the object's central body the line emanating from the center of the apparent Sun toward the object. Thus, the effects of the finite size of the Sun are ignored. In addition, no light time delay is computed for the light travelling between the object and the intersection point.
