NameDescription
ElapsedTimeFromStartTime elapsed relative to start time event.
DistanceFromOrbitalReferencePlaneThe straight-line distance of the spacecraft from the orbital reference plane, which is defined as the central body fixed XY plane.
Speed(CBF)The magnitude of the velocity in the vehicle's central body fixed (CBF) coordinate system.
SurfaceSpeedSpeed (velocity magnitude) of the aircraft's center point with respect to the surface of the central body reference shape.
SpeedMagnitude of the vehicle's inertial velocity.
DistanceAlongTrajectory(CBF)The distance along the vehicle's trajectory in its central body fixed (CBF) coordinate system.
DistanceAlongTrajectoryThe distance along the vehicle's inertial trajectory.
DistanceAlongGroundTrackA measure of distance to the intersection point along the ground track direction. Points forward of the sensor's detic subpoint are considered to have positive distances while points behind the detic subpoint will have negative distances. The distance is computed from the detic subpoint to the projection of the intersection point to a plane through the detic subpoint aligned with the ground track at that point.
ElapsedTimeFromStopTime elapsed relative to stop time event.
