RadiationPressure#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RadiationPressure#

Class defining solar radiation pressure on a vehicle.

Overview#

file

File containing parameters defining a ground reflection model that defines albedo and emissivity properties of the central body surface.

ck

Coefficient of radiation pressure reflectivity of the satellite. Dimensionless.

area_mass_ratio

Area exposed to radiation pressure (nominally along the radial direction) divided by the mass. Uses AreaPerMass Dimension.

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).
