Details

•Each object must be created before it can be attached.

•Only one Antenna can be attached to each GroundStation.

•Both the Tank and Thruster objects must be attached to a Spacecraft object before the Tank object can be attached to the Thruster object.

•Tanks and Thrusters may be attached using either the Attach command, or, a set of "Add" methods that include:

Thruster1.AddTankToValve(0,InterpolatedTank1);

Thruster1.AddTankToValve(1,SphericalTank1);

Spacecraft1.AddTank("SphericalTank1","SphericalTank");

Spacecraft1.AddTank("InterpolatedTank1","InterpolatedTank");

Spacecraft1.AddThruster("Thruster1");

See the Spacecraft object, Thruster object, and the Valves page of the Maneuvering Guide for more information.
