Path: Orbit/OrbitPropagator
% The solar force model for OrbitPropagator. Assumes the surface normal is always aligned with the sun. Includes eclipses and distance from the sun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: x = FSolar( action, modifier, u, t ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ action (1,:) Action 'initialize', 'update' modifier (1,:) Modifier to the action or data structure if intialization u (1,1) .rSun (3,1) Sun Vector (km) .r (3,1) Spacecraft vector (km) t (1,1) Time ------- Outputs ------- x (1,1) The tag if action is 'initialize' If the action is update x.f (3,1) Force vector in the ECI frame x.mDot (1,1) Mass derivative --------------------------------------------------------------------------
