Path: SC/CAD
% Build a model of the Microwave Anisotropy Probe. The data is taken from web pictures so colors and dimensions are limited in accuracy. The position of the spacecraft relative to the moon and earth is fictional. This script makes use of the many CAD objects that BuildCADModel can use, including the reaction wheel object. The thruster locations are based on our own design and are not the same ones that MAP actually uses. We used our optimal thruster distribution law to pick a minimal set of thrusters. After the model is finished, it is displayed with DrawSCPlugIn. We show how to display the plumes individually and then together using the displayPlume field of the thruster deviceInfo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ See also BuildCADModel, CreateComponent, DrawSC, Date2JD, MoonV1, SunV1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ % ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Princeton Satellite Systems, Inc.
