SetState
Set the state of a vehicle using propagator, coordinates or file.
Syntax
SetState <VehiclePath> {Method} <Parameters>
Description
The SetState command can be used to define a vehicle's orbit, trajectory or path, including coordinate system, orbital elements and time parameters.
The valid values for {Method} are listed in the table below, along with a link to a description of the <Parameters> and examples for that method.
