Description
This method provides a sequential listing of events related to the intersection of two objects, where one object moves to at least partially intersect another object. The objects can be a Spacecraft and a ProximityZone or a ProximityZone and a ProximityZone. The start times, end times, ranges at start and end, and duration of the intersection are returned. FreeFlyer uses a definitive analytical solution to evaluate this method.

ProximityZone.Intersects(ProximityZone proximityZoneToIntersect)
|
String
|
This method provides a sequential listing of events related to the intersection of the calling ProximityZone and proximityZoneToIntersect, where one object moves to at least partially intersect another object. Sphere/Sphere, Ellipsoid/Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid/Sphere, and Box/Box intersections are supported, but Ellipsoid/Box and Sphere/Box intersections are not. The start times, end times, ranges at start and end, and duration of the intersection are returned. FreeFlyer uses a definitive analytical solution to evaluate this method.

ProximityZone.Intersects(Spacecraft intersectingSpacecraft)
|
String
|
This method provides a sequential listing of events related to the intersection of the calling ProximityZone and intersectingSpacecraft, where one object moves to at least partially intersect another object. The start times, end times, ranges at start and end, and duration of the intersection are returned. FreeFlyer uses a definitive analytical solution to evaluate this method.
