Description |
Normal x |
Unitless |
Real Number |
First component of the unit vector along the normal to the selected plane in the reference coordinate system.
Defines projection of the unit vector onto the x-axis of the reference coordinate system. |
Normal y |
Unitless |
Real Number |
Second component of the unit vector along the normal to the selected plane in the reference coordinate system.
Defines projection of the unit vector onto the y-axis of the reference coordinate system. |
Normal z |
Unitless |
Real Number |
Third component of the unit vector along the normal to the selected plane in the reference coordinate system.
Defines projection of the unit vector onto the z-axis of the reference coordinate system. |
Slope |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
The slope of the ground relative to the local horizontal plane. Zero indicates level ground. Value is independent of selected coordinate system. |
Azimuth |
LongitudeUnit |
Real Number |
Dihedral angle between north vector and velocity vector about the detic nadir vector.
The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's
central body fixed coordinate system. |
