% Computes the Newtonian force in ECI coordinates. The body is represented as unit outward normals and corresponding areas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: f = NewtonianForceECI( qECIToBody, nBody, a, uECI, rho ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ qECIToBody (4,:) Quaternion from ECI to Body nBody (3,n) Normals in the body frame a (1,n) Corresponding areas (m^2) uECI (3,:) Velocity vector (km/s) rho (1,:) Atmospheric density (kg/m^3) ------- Outputs ------- force (3,:) Force (N) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
