Property Value

The ascending node is the point where the satellite crosses the equator moving south to north. In the diagram below, this point is referenced from the +X direction, which points in the Vernal Equinox direction. The angle between the X axis and the ascending node is called the right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN), represented here by Ω.

In the above diagram, ω is the argument of periapsis, θ is the true anomaly, and i is the inclination.
