Description
A Celestial Body represents a planet, moon, or other astronomical object in the simulation. It stores physical and orbital properties such as mass, radius, gravitational parameter, and rotation state. Celestial bodies can contribute gravitational forces to spacecraft and support attached environmental models including atmosphere, magnetic field, and albedo.
Example Use Cases
- Orbital Mechanics: Provides gravitational influence for spacecraft trajectory propagation.
- Environmental Modeling: Hosts atmosphere, magnetic field, and albedo models for environmental interactions.
