Expand description

The GuidanceLaw trait handles guidance laws, optimizations, and other such methods for controlling the overall thrust direction when tied to a Spacecraft. For delta V control, tie the DeltaVctrl to a MissionArc.

Required Methods§

source

fn direction(&self, osc_state: &BaseSpacecraft<X>) -> Vector3<f64>

Returns a unit vector corresponding to the thrust direction in the inertial frame.

source

fn throttle(&self, osc_state: &BaseSpacecraft<X>) -> f64

Returns a number between [0;1] corresponding to the engine throttle level. For example, 0 means coasting, i.e. no thrusting, and 1 means maximum thrusting.
