Environment Toolkit


Detailed Description

The Environment Toolkit is the collection of classes and functions that assist in modeling a spacecraft's external environment. This includes the central bodies, disturbance forces and disturbance torques.

Extension Points:
The current toolkit provides functionality for the main planets of the solar system as central bodies. There are other central bodies such as moons, asteroids, comets, or stars that could be added by deriving from the CentralBody interface class. Furthermore, only a couple of the primary disturbance torque and force functions have been implemented. There are numerous models of varying complexity that could be added. The only stipulation is that these new disturbance functions match the parameterization specified by pt2EnvFunc.
