class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.Missile#

Bases: ISTKObject, ILifetimeInformation, IProvideSpatialInfo

Missile 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 missile.
`set_trajectory_type`	Set the propagator type.

Properties

`access_constraints`	Get the constraints imposed on the missile.
`atmosphere`	Do not use this property, as it is deprecated. The new RFEnvironment property can be used to configure atmospheric models.
`attitude`	Get the missile’s attitude profile.
`attitude_supported_types`	Return an array of valid choices.
`attitude_type`	Get the type of attitude profile used by the missile.
`eclipse_bodies`	Get the customized list of Eclipse Bodies, which are central bodies used in lighting computations.
`export_tools`	Return the MissileExportTools interface.
`get_eoir_settings`	Get the EOIR properties of the missile.
`graphics`	Get the missile’s 2D Graphics properties.
`graphics_3d`	Get the missile’s 3D Graphics properties.
`ground_ellipses`	Get the missile’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.
`lighting_maximum_step_central_body_shape`	Get or set the maximum step size to use when computing lighting when UseTerrainInLightingComputations is false. Uses Time Dimension.
`lighting_maximum_step_terrain`	Get or set the maximum step size to use when computing lighting when UseTerrainInLightingComputations is true. Uses Time Dimension.
`radar_clutter_map`	Return the radar clutter map.
`radar_cross_section`	Return the radar cross sectoin.
`rf_environment`	Get the RF environment.
`space_environment`	Return the missile’s SpaceEnvironment properties.
`trajectory`	Get the missile’s trajectory properties.
`trajectory_supported_types`	Return an array of valid choices.
`trajectory_type`	Get the propagator type used by the missile.
`use_terrain_in_lighting_computations`	Opt whether to compute lighting using terrain data.

Examples#

Create a New Missile (on the current scenario central body)

# Scenario scenario: Scenario object
missile = scenario.children.new(STKObjectType.MISSILE, "MyMissile")
missile.set_trajectory_type(PropagatorType.BALLISTIC)
trajectory = missile.trajectory
root.units_preferences.set_current_unit("DateFormat", "EpSec")
trajectory.ephemeris_interval.set_explicit_interval(0, 0)  # stop time later computed based on propagation
trajectory.launch.latitude = 29
trajectory.launch.longitude = -81
trajectory.impact_location.impact.latitude = 27
trajectory.impact_location.impact.longitude = -43
trajectory.impact_location.set_launch_control_type(VehicleLaunchControl.FIXED_APOGEE_ALTITUDE)
trajectory.impact_location.launch_control.apogee_altitude = 1200  # km
trajectory.propagate()
