Description

This software is able to calculate the thruster fire request message based on a particular burn that is being used. The burn information can provide the delta velocity and the direction of the thrust. The software will then determine the required force and the duration of the burn based on the current spacecraft information, such as the mass and the current attitude.

Properties

Declared	Description
AlignmentTolerance	The alignment tolerance defines the maximum difference between the MRPangles of the thruster and the spacecraft. This is used to determine ifthe thruster is aligned with the target direction or not yet.
In_AttitudeErrorMsg	The attitude error message. This message is used to know the currenterror in the spacecraft’s attitude, which is used to determine if thetolerance has been met.
In_ThrusterBurnMsg	The thruster firing request message. This message is used to calculatethe thruster time for firing based on a given start time and duration.
Out_ThrusterFireRequestMsg	The thruster firing request message. This message is used to calculatethe thruster time for firing based on a given start time and duration.

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
Destroy	Removes the current object from the simulation.
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.
