Thruster properties that can be selected as control parameters for a Target Sequence.
Member | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
eVAControlThrustersEquivOnTime | 0 | The equivalent on-time percentage is a factor multiplied by the thrust. The thrust is applied continuously throughout the maneuver and is reduced by the percentage. The mass flow rate is likewise reduced. E.g., for an on-time percentage of 75%, the acceleration on the spacecraft will be reduced by 25%, and only 75% of the fuel will be used. |
eVAControlThrustersThrustEfficiency | 1 | The thruster efficiency. |
eVAControlThrustersSphericalAzimuth | 2 | Thruster direction defined as a vector in the body frame. Spherical azimuth value. |
eVAControlThrustersSphericalElevation | 3 | Thruster direction defined as a vector in the body frame. Spherical elevation value. |
eVAControlThrustersCartesianX | 4 | Thruster direction defined as a vector in the body frame. Cartesian X value. |
eVAControlThrustersCartesianY | 5 | Thruster direction defined as a vector in the body frame. Cartesian Y value. |
eVAControlThrustersCartesianZ | 6 | Thruster direction defined as a vector in the body frame. Cartesian Z value. |
