Description

PointGroup.Coverage(Formation formation, Array coverageArray)

Variable

This method provides sensor coverage analysis for the set of points defined by a PointGroup. This can be used to determine what parts of the central body can be seen by a given sensor at some point in time, using the current epoch of the specified Spacecraft or Formation. The coverage analysis can be extended over a period of time by calling this method inside a propagation loop. The active Sensors on each Spacecraft will be used to determine coverage.

Array output arguments are used to capture the statistics of the coverage analysis. Do not use these arrays as output arguments for more than one method. Note that the dimensions of the argument arrays are set when the Coverage method is first called; the dimension is not reset by subsequent calls. The Coverage method returns a flag indicating whether the coverage has changed since the last method call. This can be used to increase performance by indicating that further analysis is not necessary if the coverage statistics have not changed.
