Facility/Place/Target: LineOfSight Info

The facility, place, or target uses its ground altitude to construct an ellipsoid to be used in the LineOfSight computations. This ellipsoid passes thru the ground position and has the same surface normal as the central body shape does at that point. This report displays relevant characteristics of this ellipsoid.

Type: Fixed data
