Module nyx_space::cosmic::eclipse

The eclipse module allows finding eclipses and (conversely) visibility between a state and another one (e.g. a planet or the Sun).

Re-exports

• pub use super::Spacecraft;

Structs

• EclipseLocator
• Frame
  A Frame uniquely defined by its ephemeris center and orientation. Refer to FrameDetail for frames combined with parameters.
• PenumbraEvent
  An event to find the start of a penumbra
• UmbraEvent
  An event to find the darkest eclipse state (more than 98% shadow)

Enums

• EclipseState
  Stores the eclipse state

Functions

• eclipse_state
  Computes the umbra/visibilis/penumbra state between between two states accounting for eclipsing of the providing geoid.
• line_of_sight
  Computes the light of sight the provided time between two states accounting for eclipsing of the providing geoid. This works for visibility between spacecraft and a ground station. For eclipsing and penumbras, use eclipse_state.

Type Aliases

• Orbit
  A helper type alias, but no assumptions are made on the underlying validity of the frame.
