BDotR |
DistanceUnit |
Real Number |
Dot product of B-Plane vectors B and R. B-vector is defined as the intersection of the B-plane
and the trajectory plane, starting on the targeted central body and ending at the spot where the
incoming asymptote crosses the B-plane. R is one of the axes of the B-plane. |
BDotT |
DistanceUnit |
Real Number |
Dot product of B-Plane vectors B and T. B-vector is defined as the intersection of the B-plane
and the trajectory plane, starting on the targeted central body and ending at the spot where the
incoming asymptote crosses the B-plane. T is one of the axes of the B-plane. |
BMagnitude |
DistanceUnit |
Real Number |
Magnitude of the B-plane B-vector. B-vector is defined as the intersection of the B-plane
and the trajectory plane, starting on the targeted central body and ending at the spot where the
incoming asymptote crosses the B-plane. |
BTheta |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
B-Plane theta angle is the angle between the B-vector and the T-axis of the B-plane. |
Delta_Declination |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
Delta Declination is the difference between the declination of the target body and that of
the satellite with respect to the target body's parent body. |
Delta_Right_Asc |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
Delta Right Ascension is the difference between the right ascension of the target body and
that of the satellite. The right ascension is measured
with respect to the target body's parent body, in the parent body's inertial coordinate system. |
