[Nominal] Defines a support class that can be added to a sensor to perform a range of boresight calculations.

public class BoresightSensor : Sensor
Inheritance
BoresightSensor

Constructors

BoresightSensor()

Default constructor

protected BoresightSensor()

Fields

In_SpacecraftStateMsg

A reference to the base spacecraft's state message for computing the state of the object.

public SpacecraftStateMessage? In_SpacecraftStateMsg

Field Value

SpacecraftStateMessage

In_TargetPlanetStateMsg

State of the celestial body that the sensor is targeting

public PlanetStateMessage? In_TargetPlanetStateMsg

Field Value

PlanetStateMessage

Out_BoresightDataMsg

Output state of the boresight angle

public BoresightDataMessage? Out_BoresightDataMsg

Field Value

BoresightDataMessage

Properties

Azimuth

Quadrant to put the miss angle in, relative to the boresight.

[Unit(UnitType.DEGREE)]
[ReadOnly]
[Metadata(ContainedIn = "Out_BoresightDataMsg")]
public double Azimuth { get; }

Property Value

double

MissAngle

Angular distance between the boresight and body.

[Unit(UnitType.DEGREE)]
[ReadOnly]
[Metadata(ContainedIn = "Out_BoresightDataMsg")]
public double MissAngle { get; }

Property Value

double

Methods

OnBegin(double)

Called when the object is beginning ticking for the first time. This is when the simulation calls the very first tick and will run before the update call.

protected override void OnBegin(double time)

Parameters

time double

[s] Current time of the simulation before the tick

OnCreate()

Called when the 'Component' is created from the controller.

protected override void OnCreate()

OnUpdate(double, double)

Called when the object should update from the simulation tick. This will take in a time and a step, where the time is the time of the clock before updating the object.

protected override void OnUpdate(double time, double step)

Parameters

time double

[s] Current time of the simulation before the update

step double

[s] The time-step to update during this tick
