ostk.astrodynamics.dynamics.Thruster¶

class Thruster( self: ostk.astrodynamics.dynamics.Thruster, satellite_system: ostk.astrodynamics.flight.system.SatelliteSystem, guidance_law: ostk::astrodynamics::GuidanceLaw, name: ostk.core.type.String =, )¶

Bases: Dynamics

Abstract Thruster Class.

Base class to derive other thruster classes from. Cannot be instantiated.

Constructor.

Parameters:

satellite_system (SatelliteSystem) -- The satellite system.
guidance_law (GuidanceLaw) -- The guidance law used to compute the acceleration vector.
name (str) -- The name of the thruster.

Methods

`compute_contribution`	Compute the contribution of the thruster to the state vector.
`from_environment`	Create a list of Dynamics objects from an environment.
`get_guidance_law`	Get the guidance law of the thruster.
`get_name`	Get the name of the dynamics.
`get_read_coordinate_subsets`	Get the coordinate subsets that the dynamics reads.
`get_satellite_system`	Get the satellite system of the thruster.
`get_write_coordinate_subsets`	Get the coordinate subsets that the dynamics writes.
`is_defined`	Check if the thruster is defined.

compute_contribution( self: ostk.astrodynamics.dynamics.Thruster, instant: ostk.physics.time.Instant, state_vector: numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, 1]], frame: ostk.physics.coordinate.Frame, ) → numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, 1]]¶

Compute the contribution of the thruster to the state vector.

Parameters:

instant (Instant) -- The instant of the state vector.
state_vector (numpy.ndarray) -- The state vector.
frame (Frame) -- The reference frame.

Returns:

The contribution of the thruster to the state vector.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

static from_environment( environment: ostk.physics.Environment, ) → list[ostk.astrodynamics.Dynamics]¶

Create a list of Dynamics objects from an environment.

Parameters:: environment (Environment) -- The environment to create the dynamics from.
Returns:: The list of Dynamics objects created from the environment.
Return type:: dynamics (list[Dynamics])
