SolRadAndGravityDynamics.compute_solar_radiation_acceleration(state, direction_sun_to_sc, distance_sun_to_sc)[source]

This computes the acceleration due to the solar radiation pressure on the spacecraft assuming a cannonball model in km/s**2.

Parameters:

  • state (ndarray) – The state vector

  • direction_sun_to_sc (ndarray) – The position vector from the sun to the spacecraft

  • distance_sun_to_sc (float) – The distance from the sun to the spacecraft in AU

Returns:

The solar radiation acceleration in km/s**2 as a numpy array
