msisAtmosphere#
Executive Summary#
Atmosphere class used to calculate temperature / density above a body using multiple models.
This class is used to hold relevant atmospheric properties and to compute the density for a given set of spacecraft
relative to a specified planet. Planetary parameters, including position and input message, are settable by the user.
Internal support is provided for Venus, Earth, and Mars. In a given simulation, each planet of interest should have only
one MsisAtmosphere model associated with it linked to the spacecraft in orbit about that body. For more information see the
PDF Description.
