Factory function for creating the settings of a swingby node.
Factory function for creating the settings of a swingby node. The settings consist consist of the minimum allowed periapsis radius. The minimum periapsis radius can be set to infinity. In that case, the swingby does not affect the velocity of the spacecraft (e.g. might be relevant for swingbys of small bodies). The exact behavior of this node depends on the types of legs that precede and follow it. Given a known incoming and unknown outgoing velocity, the node forward propagates the gravity assist, possibly with a Delta V at the a periapsis. Given an unknown incoming and known outgoing velocity, the node backward propagates the gravity assist, possibly with a Delta V at the a periapsis. Given known incoming and outgoing velocities, the node computes the Delta V required to meet those. The calculations performed in this node do not involve any numerical integration, and are solved by (semi-)analytical models. For details see Musegaas, 2012 [2].
- Parameters:
minimum_periapsis (float, default=TUDAT_NAN) – Minimum periapsis radius. The minimum periapsis only needs to be specified if the types of swignby nodes that requires it is used. If that is the case and no minimum periapsis was selected an error is thrown.

Function to evaluate the transfer trajectory, which consists of computing the transfer Delta V and time of flight, for the specified set of parameters.
- Parameters:
leg_parameters (list[list[float]]) – List of lists with the parameters characterizing each leg. Each inner list corresponds to the parameters of one leg; if a leg does not require any parameter, its list can contain any value(s), therefore it is recommended to leave it empty.
node_parameters (list[list[float]]) – List of lists with the parameters characterizing each node. Each inner list corresponds to the parameters of one node; if a node does not require any parameter, its list can contain any value(s), therefore it is recommended to leave it empty.
- Returns:
None
- Return type:
None
- inertial_thrust_accelerations_along_trajectory(self: tudatpy.kernel.trajectory_design.transfer_trajectory.TransferTrajectory, number_of_data_points_per_leg: int) dict[float, numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[3, 1]]] ¶
Returns the inertial thrust acceleration history throughout the trajectory.
Function that returns the inertial thrust acceleration history throughout the trajectory, using the same number of data points in each leg. For each leg, the retrieved thrust accelerations are equally spaced in time. For high-thrust legs (where only impulsive Delta Vs are applied) the thrust acceleration is always zero.
- Parameters:
number_of_data_points_per_leg (int) – Number of data points used to describe each leg.
- Returns:
Tuple of (state history, time history).
- Return type:
- rsw_thrust_accelerations_along_trajectory(self: tudatpy.kernel.trajectory_design.transfer_trajectory.TransferTrajectory, number_of_data_points_per_leg: int) dict[float, numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[3, 1]]] ¶
Returns the thrust acceleration history in the RSW frame throughout the trajectory.
Function that returns the thrust acceleration history in the RSW frame throughout the trajectory, using the same number of data points in each leg. For each leg, the retrieved thrust accelerations are equally spaced in time. For high-thrust legs (where only impulsive Delta Vs are applied) the thrust acceleration is always zero.
- Parameters:
number_of_data_points_per_leg (int) – Number of data points used to describe each leg.
- Returns:
Tuple of (state history, time history).
- Return type:
- single_leg_delta_v(self: tudatpy.kernel.trajectory_design.transfer_trajectory.TransferTrajectory, leg_index: int) float ¶
Retrieves the Delta V applied in the specified leg.
- single_node_delta_v(self: tudatpy.kernel.trajectory_design.transfer_trajectory.TransferTrajectory, node_index: int) float ¶
Retrieves the Delta V applied in the specified node.
- states_along_trajectory(self: tudatpy.kernel.trajectory_design.transfer_trajectory.TransferTrajectory, number_of_data_points_per_leg: int) dict[float, numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[6, 1]]] ¶
Returns the state history throughout the trajectory.
Function that returns the state history throughout the trajectory, using the same number of data points in each leg. For each leg, the retrieved states are equally spaced in time.
- Parameters:
number_of_data_points_per_leg (int) – Number of data points used to describe each leg.
- Returns:
Tuple of (state history, time history).
- Return type:
- tnw_thrust_accelerations_along_trajectory(self: tudatpy.kernel.trajectory_design.transfer_trajectory.TransferTrajectory, number_of_data_points_per_leg: int) dict[float, numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[3, 1]]] ¶
Returns the thrust acceleration history in the TNW frame throughout the trajectory.
Function that returns the thrust acceleration history in the TNW frame throughout the trajectory, using the same number of data points in each leg. For each leg, the retrieved thrust accelerations are equally spaced in time. For high-thrust legs (where only impulsive Delta Vs are applied) the thrust acceleration is always zero.
- Parameters:
number_of_data_points_per_leg (int) – Number of data points used to describe each leg.
- Returns:
Tuple of (state history, time history).
