Satellite: Attitude Segment YPR
The attitude of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle's central body
inertial coordinate system, expressed using YPR angles. Additionally,
provides information on the attitude segment being used at the given time.
YPR angles specify
attitude using three rotations in sequence: a rotation about the X axis is
called roll (R), a rotation about the Y axis is called pitch (P), and a rotation
about the Z axis is called yaw (Y). Unlike Euler angles, the rotations are not
made about axes defined by an earlier rotation: each rotation is made about the
reference system's axes.
Type: Time-varying data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.
