Public Functions Documentation

function Force

Default constructor for Force . 

astrea::astro::Force::Force () = default

function compute_force

Computes the force acting on a vehicle at a given date and state. 

virtual CartesianVector < Acceleration, frames::earth::icrf > astrea::astro::Force::compute_force (
    const State & state,
    const Vehicle & vehicle
) const = 0

Parameters:

  • state State of the vehicle
  • vehicle Vehicle object representing the spacecraft

Returns:

AccelerationVector<frames::earth::icrf> The computed acceleration vector due to the force.

function ~Force

Default destructor for Force . 

virtual astrea::astro::Force::~Force () = default
