HPR2598: Calculating planetary orbits in Haskell


Listen Later

Function signatures (it might or might not be helpful to have these at hand while listening):
Helpers:
radToDeg :: Floating a => a -> a
degToRad :: Floating a => a -> a
clamp :: Float -> Float
Time:
day :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Float -> Day Float
Orbital parameters:
longitudeOfAscendingNode :: Orbit body center => body -> center -> Day d -> LongAscNode body center
inclinationToEcliptic :: Orbit body center => body -> center -> Day d -> InclToEcl body center
argumentOfPeriapsis :: Orbit body center => body -> center -> Day d -> ArgPeri body center
semiMajorAxis :: Orbit body center => body -> center -> Day d -> SemiMajor body center
eccentricity :: Orbit body center => body -> center -> Day d -> Ecc body center
meanAnomaly :: Orbit body center => body -> center -> Day d -> MeanAno body center
Calculating location on orbital plane:
eccAnomaly :: MeanAno a b -> Ecc a b -> EccAnomaly a b
trueAnomaly :: EccAnomaly a b -> Ecc a b -> TrueAnomaly a b
dist :: EccAnomaly a b -> Ecc a b -> SemiMajor a b -> Distance a b
Translating between coordinate systems:
toEclCoord :: TrueAnomaly a b -> Distance a b -> LongAscNode a b -> ArgPeri a b -> InclToEcl a b -> EclCoord a b
toEqCoordinates :: EclCoord body Earth -> Day Float -> EqCoord body
