Calculate range between two crafts given their respective positions
GNC/Guidance
The Calculate Range block computes the range between two crafts. The equation used for the range calculation is
Input | Dimension Type | Description |
---|---|---|
First | Contains the (x, y and z) position of craft 1. | |
Second | Contains the (x, y and z) position of craft 2. |
Output | Dimension Type | Description |
---|---|---|
First | Contains the range from craft 2 and craft 1. |
The calculated range is the magnitude of the distance, but not the direction. Therefore it is always positive or zero.
Craft positions are real values.
