% Compute the sun beta angle from the sun vector and orbit. Computes the sun beta angle (i.e. elevation out of the orbit plane) given the sun unit vector (or right ascension and declination), the right ascension of the ascending node and the inclination of the orbit. Type SunBeta for a demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: beta = SunBeta( i, uSun, rA ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ i (1,1) Inclination (rad) uSun (3,1) Sun Vector or [rASun (rad);decSun (rad)]; rA (1,n) Right ascension of the ascending node (rad) ------- Outputs ------- beta (1,n) Beta angles --------------------------------------------------------------------------
