Module nyx_space::cosmic::eclipse

The eclipse module allows finding eclipses and (conversely) visibility between a state and another one (e.g. a planet or the Sun).

Structs

• Cosm
• EclipseLocator
• Orbit
  Orbit defines an orbital state
• PenumbraEvent
  An event to find the start of a penumbra
• UmbraEvent
  An event to find the darkest eclipse state (more than 98% shadow)

Enums

• Bodies
  Defines the default celestial bodies in the provided de438 XB.
• EclipseState
  Stores the eclipse state
• Frame
• LightTimeCalc
  Enable or not light time correction for the computation of the celestial states

Functions

• eclipse_state
  Computes the umbra/visibilis/penumbra state between between two states accounting for eclipsing of the providing geoid.
• line_of_sight
  Computes the light of sight the provided time between two states accounting for eclipsing of the providing geoid. This works for visibility between spacecraft and a ground station. For eclipsing and penumbras, use eclipse_state.

Type Definitions

• Spacecraft
  A spacecraft state
