% Computes eclipse orbit fraction. This assumes that orbit radius is constant for the duration of the eclipse. This will be true for low eccentricity orbits at apogee. Type EclipseDuration for a demo -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: fractionOfOrbit = EclipseDuration( rSC, rPlanet, beta ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ rSC (1,n) Radius of the spacecraft's orbit rPlanet (1,1) Radius of the planet beta (1,m) Angle between the source and the orbit plane ------- Outputs ------- fractionOfOrbit (n,m) Eclipse orbit fraction --------------------------------------------------------------------------
