RadiationPressure#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RadiationPressure#: Class defining solar radiation pressure on a vehicle.

Overview#

Properties

`area_mass_ratio`	Area exposed to radiation pressure (nominally along the radial direction) divided by the mass. Uses AreaPerMass Dimension.
`ck`	Coefficient of radiation pressure reflectivity of the satellite. Dimensionless.
`file`	File containing parameters defining a ground reflection model that defines albedo and emissivity properties of the central body surface.
`include_albedo`	Opt whether to consider albedo effects (i.e., radiation pressure caused by sunlight reflected off the lit part of the central body).
`include_thermal`	Opt whether to consider thermal radiation pressure effects (i.e., radiation pressure caused by blackbody heat radiation of the central body).
