Module: atmosphereBase¶

General atmosphere base class used to calculate neutral density/temperature using arbitrary models The Atmosphere class is used to calculate the neutral density and temperature above a body using arbitrary models. Each atmosphere is attached to a specific planet, but provides support for multiple spacecraft through addSpacecraftToModel().

class AtmosphereBase : public SysModel ¶

Public Functions

AtmosphereBase()¶

This method initializes some basic parameters for the module.

Return: void

~AtmosphereBase()¶

Destructor.

Return: void

void SelfInit()¶

SelfInit for this method creates a seperate magnetic field message for each of the spacecraft that were added using AddSpacecraftToModel. Additional model outputs are also initialized per-spacecraft.

Return: void

void CrossInit()¶

This method is used to connect the input position message from the spacecraft. Additonal model-specific cross inits are also conducted.

Return: void

void Reset(uint64_t CurrentSimNanos)¶

This method is used to reset the module.

Return: void

void addSpacecraftToModel(std::string tmpScMsgName)¶

Adds the spacecraft message name to a vector of sc message names and automatically creates an output message name.

Return

void

Parameters

tmpScMsgName: A spacecraft state message name.

void UpdateState(uint64_t CurrentSimNanos)¶

Computes the current local magnetic field for each spacecraft and writes their respective messages.

Return

void

Parameters

CurrentSimNanos: The current simulation time in nanoseconds

Public Members

std::vector<std::string> scStateInMsgNames¶: Vector of the spacecraft position/velocity message names.

std::vector<std::string> envOutMsgNames¶: Vector of message names to be written out by the environment.

std::string planetPosInMsgName¶: Message name for the planet’s SPICE position message.

double envMinReach¶: [m] Minimum planet-relative position needed for the environment to work, default is off (neg. value)

double envMaxReach¶: [m] Maximum distance at which the environment will be calculated, default is off (neg. value)

double planetRadius¶: [m] Radius of the planet

BSKLogger bskLogger¶: BSK Logging

Protected Functions

void writeMessages(uint64_t CurrentClock)¶

This method is used to write the output magnetic field messages whose names are established in AddSpacecraftToModel.

Return

void

Parameters

CurrentClock: The current time used for time-stamping the message

bool readMessages()¶

This method is used to read the incoming command message and set the associated spacecraft positions for computing the atmosphere.

Return: void

void updateLocalAtmosphere(double currentTime)¶

This method is used to update the local magnetic field based on each spacecraft’s position.

Return: void

void updateRelativePos(SpicePlanetStateSimMsg *planetState, SCPlusStatesSimMsg *scState)¶

This method is used to determine the spacecraft position vector relative to the planet.

Return

void

Parameters

planetState: A space planetstate message struct.
scState: A spacecraftPlusStates message struct.

void evaluateAtmosphereModel(AtmoPropsSimMsg *msg, double currentTime) = 0¶
