Description

Computes an inertial attitude reference that places this spacecraft’s docking adapter Up anti-parallel to the target adapter Up, with commanded clocking about that mating axis. The body-frame mount of the chaser adapter is removed so the MRP commands the spacecraft body, not the port frame.

Properties

Declared	Description
ClockingAngle	Commanded clocking angle [deg] about the mating axis.
In_DockingAdapterMsg	Telemetry from this spacecraft’s docking adapter (port pose and body-frame mount).
In_NavigationAttitudeMsg	Optional navigation attitude of the parent body. Not required to form thereference; the attitude error software consumes navigation separately.
In_TargetDockingAdapterMsg	Telemetry from the target docking adapter to mate with.
MaxPoseLookAhead	Maximum age [s] over which target port axes are propagated using thepublished angular velocity. Limits extrapolation after stale telemetry.
Out_AttitudeReferenceMsg	Reference attitude output message.
TargetStateAge	Age [s] of the target adapter sample used for the current reference.

Inherited	Description
IsEnabled	Is true if the object is currently enabled.
Name	The display name or tag of this object.
Parent	The currently attached parent object (if any).

Methods

Inherited	Description
Disable	Disable the software componentDerived classes should clear any output messages
Enable	Enable the software component
FindParentWithID	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified ID.
FindParentWithType	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified type.
FindRootWithID	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified ID.
FindRootWithType	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified type.
Initialise	This method is called whenever some key parameters are changedand any new local variables are required to be recalculated. Thiscan be called by the software chains if a configuration of somevalues are updated.
