Arguments
Spacecraft
|
|
Description:
|
The secondary object of the conjunction.
|
PrimaryCovariance
|
|
Description:
|
A 9 element array containing the position covariance of the primary object, given in the spacecraft RIC frame with units of m^2.
|
Required Size:
|
9
|
SecondaryCovariance
|
|
Description:
|
A 9 element array containing the position covariance of the secondary object, given in the spacecraft RIC frame with units of m^2.
|
Required Size:
|
9
|
HardBodyRadius
|
|
Description:
|
The Hard-Body Radius to be used for the conjuncting objects, given in units of meters. This argument is a combination of the hard body radius for both the primary and the secondary objects. When the ShapeType is set to Square, the Hard-Body Radius is equal to half the side-length of the Square.
|
Units:
|
m
|
Valid Range:
|
HardBodyRadius > 0
|
RelativeErrorTolerance
|
|
Description:
|
The Relative Error Tolerance to be used for integrating the Gaussian distribution.
|
Valid Range:
|
RelativeErrorTolerance > 0
|
Return Value
Returns the 2D probability of collision (Pc) at the time of closest approach (TCA).
Syntax
