Publisher review:Earth Albedo Toolbox provides functions for calculating the Earth albedo illuminating a spacecraft. Earth albedo is the sunlight reflected off the Earth's surface. The Earth albedo induces power in solar cells on spacecrafts just like direct sunlight.
The Earth Albedo Toolbox may be used to calculate the amount of Earth albedo arriving at an object in space, maintaining information of direction of the Earth albedo, useful for objects in low Earth-orbit. The Earth Abledo model is useful for investigating excess energy produces by solar panels, and for improving vector observations by Sun sensors. A Simulink interface is provided with toolbox Requirements: ยท MATLAB Release: R14SP3
Earth Albedo Toolbox is a Matlab script for Astronomy/Aerospace scripts design by Dan Bhanderi.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
