class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.LaunchVehicle

Bases: ISTKObject, ILifetimeInformation, IProvideSpatialInfo

Launch vehicle object.

Overview

Methods

is_attitude_type_supported	Get a value indicating whether the specified type can be used.
is_trajectory_type_supported	Get a value indicating whether the specified type can be used.
set_attitude_type	Set the type of attitude profile used by the launch vehicle.
set_trajectory_type	Set the propagator type.

Properties

access_constraints	Get the constraints imposed on the launch vehicle.
atmosphere	Do not use this property, as it is deprecated. The new RFEnvironment property can be used to configure atmospheric models.
attitude	Get the launch vehicle’s attitude profile.
attitude_supported_types	Return an array of valid choices.
attitude_type	Get the type of attitude profile used by the launch vehicle.
eclipse_bodies	Get the customized list of Eclipse Bodies, which are central bodies used in lighting computations.
export_tools	Return the LaunchVehicleExportTools interface.
graphics	Get the launch vehicle’s 2D Graphics properties.
graphics_3d	Get the launch vehicle’s 3D Graphics properties.
ground_ellipses	Get the launch vehicle’s ground ellipses properties.
laser_environment	Get the laser environment.
lighting_maximum_step	Do not use this property, as it is deprecated. Use LightingMaxStepTerrain or LightingMaxStepCbShape as appropriate. The maximum step size to use when computing lighting when UseTerrainInLightingComputations is true. Uses Time Dimension.
