Extracting Local Density from propagation_setup.acceleration.aerodynamic() in TUDAT

Question

User:
Hi everyone,
Is there a way to extract the local density that is used for the propagation_setup.acceleration.aerodynamic() command (For the Earth)? Or is there a datasheet that is used for this computation that I can have a look at?

Answer

Tudat-team:
You can save the density as a dependent variable:
