Detailed Description

Unity component to add EarthAtmosphereReentry external acceleration to a GECore body.

This component demonstrates how to integrate EarthAtmosphereReentry into the Unity scene system. It follows the same pattern as GSEarthAtmosphere but uses the reentry-specific physics model.

The reentry model includes:

• Atmospheric drag based on exponential density model
• Self-integrated evolution (handles its own position/velocity updates)
• Configurable spacecraft parameters (mass, drag coefficient, cross-sectional area)
• Time step control for accurate reentry simulation

Member Function Documentation

AddToGE()

int GravityEngine2.GSEarthAtmosphereReentry.AddToGE	(	int	id,
		GECore	ge,
		GBUnits::Units	units )

Add this EarthAtmosphereReentry external acceleration to a GECore body.

This method creates the necessary data structure and adds it to the GECore as a self-integrated external acceleration.

Parameters

id	The GECore body ID to add the acceleration to
ge	The GECore instance
units	The units system being used

Returns

The external acceleration ID, or -1 if failed

Implements GravityEngine2.GSExternalAcceleration.

GetConfigurationSummary()

string GravityEngine2.GSEarthAtmosphereReentry.GetConfigurationSummary

(

)

Get a summary of the current configuration for debugging purposes.

Returns

A string describing the current configuration
