[−][src]Trait nyx_space::celestia::CelestialBody

pub trait CelestialBody {
    fn gm() -> f64;
    fn eq_radius() -> f64;
    fn flattening() -> f64;
}

CelestialBody represents a celestial body.

Note that all planets are defined as types. This leverages higher speed of execution via monomorphism. The CelestialBodys provided in nyx use the same values as those in GMAT 2016a. NOTE: There is no Pluto defined in nyx because it isn't a planet: it's a collection of three (four?) small rocks orbiting each other.

Required methods

`fn gm() -> f64`

Returns the gravitional parameter of the given body. Unit: km³/s²

`fn eq_radius() -> f64`

Returns the equatorial radius of this celestial object.

`fn flattening() -> f64`

Returns the flattening of this celestial object.
