Overview#

CYLINDRICAL

Cylindrical - assumes the Sun to be at infinite distance so that all light coming from the Sun moves in a direction parallel to the Sun to satellite vector.

DUAL_CONE

Dual Cone - uses the actual size and distance of the Sun to model regions of full, partial (penumbra) and zero (umbra) sunlight. The visible fraction of the solar disk is used to compute the acceleration during penumbra.

NONE

None - turns off all shadowing of the satellite.
