Constructor Detail

Satellite

public Satellite(double distance,
                 double angle,
                 double radius,
                 double speed,
                 java.lang.String name,
                 java.lang.String colour,
                 Satellite primary)

Constructor method. Used for moon-type satellites.

Parameters:

distance - The distance of the body from its primary.

radius - The radius of the body (the table I used for values had radii rather than diameters).

angle - The starting position of the body along its orbit.

speed - The speed of the body.

name - The name of the body.

colour - The colour of the body.

primary - The primary, or orbital target, of the satellite.
