I'm using rocketpy to test airbrake control code that will eventually fly on a rocket. One thing I am working on is the ability to have a ground station that receives updates from a radio. I am simulating this in rocketpy by invoking the airbrakes control code and radio update code in the airbrakes controller function. However, the airbakes controller function is not invoked past apogee, which does not run my code, which causes me to have a data cutoff at apogee.
I could fix this by going over the rocketpy sensor data lists afterward, finding the apogee point, then reinvoking my code with the rest of the sensor data points, but that feels really ugly and bug prone. I would really like to avoid something like this because I would like to eventually test my program's entire lifecycle (launch, burnout, parachute deployment, landing) in rocketpy.
Describe the solution you'd like
The first possible solution is to allow the airbrakes controller function to be called after apogee. However, this feels like a very ugly solution
What I think would be a better solution is to allow the user to specify a callback that is invoked either after every simulation step or after some amount of time has passed in the simulation (similar to the sensor update rates).
