| Mass |
MassUnit |
Real Number |
Mass of the satellite. |
| Log(Mass g) |
Unitless |
Real Number |
The base-10 logarithm of the mass value when
expressed in grams. |
| Impact fluence |
Fluence |
Real Number |
The integrated flux over the requested time
interval for the particle. The integration is performed using
Simpson's rule using a step size based upon the specified step
size, adjusted to insure that an even number of steps is taken (as
is required for Simpson's rule to be used). |
| Impacts |
Unitless |
Real Number |
The number of impacts over the requested time
interval, found by multiplying the cross sectional area by the
impact fluence. |
