ssapy_toolkit.Accelerations.accel_deltav

ssapy_toolkit.Accelerations.accel_deltav(dv: float, thrust_accel: float, center_idx: int, dt: float = 1.0) → dict[source]

Build a Δv-based along-track accel profile centered at a given step.

Parameters:

  • dv (float) – Signed total Δv to deliver (m/s). (Only its sign matters.)

  • thrust_accel (float) – Available constant acceleration magnitude (m/s²). Must be > 0.

  • center_idx (int) – Index in your time array where the burn is centered.

  • dt (float, optional) – Uniform timestep between your indices (s). Defaults to 1 s.

Returns:

profile –

A dict with keys:

  • ’thrust’ : signed acceleration (m/s²)

  • ’start’ : start index (int)

  • ’end’ : end index (int)

which you can pass directly to leapfrog(…, velocity=profile).

Return type:
