Module spacecraft

The gravity module handles spherical harmonics only. It must be combined with a OrbitalDynamics dynamics

This module allows loading gravity models from PDS, EGM2008 and GMAT’s own COF files. The spacecraft module allows for simulation of spacecraft dynamics in general, including propulsion/maneuvers.

Structs

• SpacecraftDynamics
  A generic spacecraft dynamics with associated force models, guidance law, and flag specifying whether to decrement the fuel mass or not. Note: when developing new guidance laws, it is recommended to not enable fuel decrement until the guidance law seems to work without proper physics. Note: if the spacecraft runs out of fuel, the propagation segment will return an error.
