NameDimensionTypeDescription
TimeDateFormatReal NumberTime.
TemperatureTemperatureReal NumberVehicle temperature, computed assuming thermal equilibrium. Thus, the temperature is an instantaneous steady-state measure that ignores any thermal transients.
Solar FluxPowerFluxDensityReal NumberThe solar flux at the location of the vehicle, a measure of the energy impinging the spacecraft from the Sun. The reported value does not consider any eclipsing.
Solar IntensityPercentReal NumberThe portion of the solar disk not currently occulted.
