Public Types
enum	Site {   KENNEDY , WALLOPS , VANDENBERG , KOUROU ,   BAIKONAOUR , CHINA }

Public Member Functions
	EarthLaunchSite (Site site, double startJD, double radius, double latitude=0.0, double longitude=0.0)
Vector3	ComputePosition (double timeSec)
double3	LaunchVelocityKmSec ()
	Compute the velocity due to the rotation of the earth. By default it reports this for the Earth radius, but during ascent it can be asked for the coro velocity for atmospheric drag.
Vector3	TargetFrame (double timeSec, double targetInclinatonDeg)
	Determine the launch frame given target inclination, lat, lon. x is prograde direction of lauch y is local vertical (x, y) are in the target plane n is the normal to x, y.

LaunchVelocityKmSec()

double3 GravityEngine2.EarthLaunchSite.LaunchVelocityKmSec

(

)

Compute the velocity due to the rotation of the earth. By default it reports this for the Earth radius, but during ascent it can be asked for the coro velocity for atmospheric drag.

Returns

Launch Velocity in km/sec

TargetFrame()

Vector3 GravityEngine2.EarthLaunchSite.TargetFrame	(	double	timeSec,
		double	targetInclinatonDeg )

Determine the launch frame given target inclination, lat, lon. x is prograde direction of lauch y is local vertical (x, y) are in the target plane n is the normal to x, y.

Parameters

targetInclinatonDeg

Returns

(x, y, n)
