UsafGeneralPerturbationElements Properties

The UsafGeneralPerturbationElements type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyArgumentOfPerigee
Gets or sets the argument of perigee, in degrees.
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyBallisticCoefficient
Gets or sets the ballistic coefficient or the area times the drag coefficient divided by the mass. This value has the units of m^2/kg.
Public propertyBStar
Gets or sets the BSTAR drag term, in units of 1 / EarthRadii. This term represents a modification of the ballistic coefficient (Coefficient of drag times area over mass). The value is modified by one half atmospheric density and expressed in units of inverse Earth radii. Source: https://celestrak.com/
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyClassification
Gets or sets the classification.
Public propertyEccentricity
Gets or sets the eccentricity
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyElementNumber
Gets or sets the element number.
Public propertyEnergyDissipationRate
Gets or sets the energy dissipation rate of the satellite due to atmospheric drag in watts/kg.
Public propertyEphemerisType
Gets or sets the ephemeris type. Ephemeris Type 0 is the correct type for Sgp4Propagator. Ephemeris type 4 is not supported by Sgp4Propagator, and it will throw an argument exception if a UsafGeneralPerturbationElements has ephemeris type 4.
Public propertyEpoch
Gets or sets the epoch at which these initial conditions are defined.
(Overrides Sgp4ElementsEpoch.)
Public propertyErrorGrowthRate
Gets or sets the last calculated error growth rate in kilometers per day.
Public propertyInclination
Gets or sets the inclination, in degrees
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyInternationalDesignator
Gets or sets the international designator.
Public propertyLastObservationTime
Gets or sets the time of last observation that was used by orbit determination for the satellite. This time is in +/- fractional days relative to the Epoch.
Public propertyMeanAnomaly
Gets or sets the mean anomaly, in degrees.
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyMeanMotion
Gets or sets the mean motion, in revolutions per day.
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyMeanMotionDot
Gets or sets the first derivative of mean motion divided by two, in revolutions per day squared.
Public propertyMeanMotionDotDot
Gets or sets the second derivative of mean motion divided by six, in revolutions per day cubed.
Public propertyName
Gets or sets the spacecraft name.
Public propertyObjectType
Gets or sets the type of orbiting body.
Public propertyOriginalSatelliteNumber
Gets or sets the original satellite number of the object. This is often the same as the SatelliteNumber.
Public propertyRadarCrossSection
Gets or sets the median radar cross section of the object.
Public propertyRawEpoch
Gets or sets the epoch at which these initial conditions are defined, represented in the standard form: YYYYDDD.DDDD.
(Overrides Sgp4ElementsRawEpoch.)
Public propertyRevolutionNumber
Gets or sets the revolution number at epoch.
Public propertyRightAscensionOfAscendingNode
Gets or sets the right ascension of the ascending node, in degrees
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertySatelliteNumber
Gets or sets the satellite number.
Public propertySolarRadiationParameter
Gets or sets the AGOM or the area times the solar radiation pressure coefficient (gamma) divided by the mass. This value has the units of m^2/kg.
Public propertySwitchingMethod
Gets or sets the method to use when switching between this element set and the following element set. By default, this is Sgp4ElementsSwitchByEpoch.
(Inherited from Sgp4Elements.)
Public propertyVisualMagnitude
Gets or sets the median visual magnitude of the object scaled to the standard distance of 35786 km (elevation of GEO at zenith). This value is used regardless of the sensor to satellite geometry.
