Information

 
ProblemHow do I compute Earthshine on a lunar satellite?
Solution
You can compute Earthshine through STK modeling and some external scripting. Create a scenario with the lunar satellite, a coverage definition on Earth, and some custom AWB geometry and scalar calculations. A MATLAB script attaches to the scenario and performs the required calculations externally.  
The attached Word document describes the problem formulation, implementation, and a brief discussion of results. A scenario VDF and a MATLAB script are attached.
