Improve SRP Model #80

Closed gomezzz closed 2 years ago

gomezzz commented 2 years ago

Feature

Right now the constellation of Earth & Sun does not play a role in the computed SRP. This needs to be improved by having a simple occlusion approximation in the propagator.

Desired behavior

No SRP when no Sun.

What needs to be done

[ ] Find a simple model to use (@darioizzo probably has an idea?)
[ ] Implement in the propragator ( here https://github.com/Wombatwarrior/BA_space_debris/ )

How it can be tested

Observe SRP force over course of one orbit and visualize

gomezzz commented 2 years ago

After speaking to the space debris office we will for now ignore this as SRP is negligible in LEO.
