function compute_force

Computes the gravitational force due to multiple celestial bodies. 

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

Parameters:

  • state Cartesian state vector of the vehicle
  • vehicle Vehicle object representing the spacecraft

Returns:
