All Implemented Interfaces:

public class KnockeRediffusedForceModel
extends Object
implements ForceModel

The Knocke Earth Albedo and IR emission force model.

This model is based on "EARTH RADIATION PRESSURE EFFECTS ON SATELLITES", 1988, by P. C. Knocke, J. C. Ries, and B. D. Tapley.

This model represents the effects of radiation pressure coming from the Earth. It considers Solar radiation which has been reflected by Earth (albedo) and Earth infrared emissions. The planet is considered as a sphere and is divided into elementary areas. Each elementary area is considered as a plane and emits radiation according to Lambert's law. The flux the satellite receives is then equal to the sum of the elementary fluxes coming from Earth.

The radiative model of the satellite, and its ability to diffuse, reflect or absorb radiation is handled by a radiation sensitive model.

Caution: This model is only suitable for Earth. Using it with another central body is prone to error..
