User guide - aerodynamic guidance

DominicDirkx opened this issue · comments

The pages from the old website (http://tudat.tudelft.nl/tutorials/tudatFeatures/accelerationSetup/aerodynamicGuidance.html) on aerodynamic guidance need to be thoroughly updated and moved to the new website, with a change to Python, of course. Some the of info from the old website is now/will go into the API, making this page somewhat cleaner.

Points that need to be highlighted:

  • Defining body angles, and relation to other definitions of body-fixed frames
  • Combined use of aerodynamics and thrust (on a different page?)
  • Use of aerodynamic coefficient interface
  • Use of control surface deflections

In addition to documenting, this step should also include a modification of the interfaces for aerodynamic guidance: removing the need for a specific derived class, and instead moving to the use of custom guidance functions (as is the case for all other custom models).

This is now in this pull request: #71
