Struct SpacecraftDynamics 

pub struct SpacecraftDynamics {
    pub orbital_dyn: OrbitalDynamics,
    pub force_models: Vec<Arc<dyn ForceModel>>,
    pub guid_law: Option<Arc<dyn GuidanceLaw>>,
    pub decrement_mass: bool,
}

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

Fields

orbital_dyn: OrbitalDynamics

force_models: Vec<Arc<dyn ForceModel>>

guid_law: Option<Arc<dyn GuidanceLaw>>

decrement_mass: bool

Implementations

impl SpacecraftDynamics

pub fn from_guidance_law( orbital_dyn: OrbitalDynamics, guid_law: Arc<dyn GuidanceLaw>, ) -> Self

Initialize a Spacecraft with a set of orbital dynamics and a propulsion subsystem. By default, the mass of the vehicle will be decremented as propellant is consumed.

pub fn from_guidance_law_no_decr( orbital_dyn: OrbitalDynamics, guid_law: Arc<dyn GuidanceLaw>, ) -> Self

Initialize a Spacecraft with a set of orbital dynamics and a propulsion subsystem. Will not decrement the prop mass as propellant is consumed.

pub fn new(orbital_dyn: OrbitalDynamics) -> Self

Initialize a Spacecraft with a set of orbital dynamics and with SRP enabled.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SpacecraftDynamics

fn clone(&self) -> SpacecraftDynamics

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SpacecraftDynamics

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for SpacecraftDynamics

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Dynamics for SpacecraftDynamics

type HyperdualSize = Const<9>

The state of the associated hyperdual state, almost always StateType + U1

type StateType = Spacecraft

fn finally( &self, next_state: Self::StateType, almanac: &Almanac, ) -> Result<Self::StateType, DynamicsError>

Optionally performs some final changes after each successful integration of the equations of motion. For example, this can be used to update the Guidance mode. NOTE: This function is also called just prior to very first integration step in order to update the initial state if needed.

fn eom( &self, delta_t_s: f64, state: &OVector<f64, Const<90>>, ctx: &Self::StateType, almanac: &Almanac, ) -> Result<OVector<f64, Const<90>>, DynamicsError>

Defines the equations of motion for these dynamics, or a combination of provided dynamics. The time delta_t is in seconds PAST the context epoch. The state vector is the state which changes for every intermediate step of the integration. The state context is the state of what is being propagated, it should allow rebuilding a new state context from the provided state vector.

fn dual_eom( &self, delta_t_s: f64, ctx: &Self::StateType, almanac: &Almanac, ) -> Result<(OVector<f64, Const<9>>, OMatrix<f64, Const<9>, Const<9>>), DynamicsError>

Defines the equations of motion for Dual numbers for these dynamics. All dynamics need to allow for automatic differentiation. However, if differentiation is not supported, then the dynamics should prevent initialization with a context which has an STM defined.
