RCAIDE.Library.Mission.Common.Update.orientations

orientations

orientations(segment)

Updates the orientation of the vehicle throughout the mission for each relevant axis

Assumptions: This assumes the vehicle has 3 frames: inertial, body, and wind

Inputs: segment.state.conditions:

frames.inertial.velocity_vector [meters/second] frames.body.inertial_rotations [Radians]

segment.analyses.planet.mean_radius [meters] state.numerics.time.integrate [float]

Outputs:

segment.state.conditions:

aerodynamics.angles.alpha [Radians] aerodynamics.angles.beta [Radians] aerodynamics.angles.roll [Radians] frames.body.transform_to_inertial [Radians] frames.wind.body_rotations [Radians] frames.wind.transform_to_inertial [Radians]

Properties Used: N/A
