Gregorian LCLUnitlessTextLocal Coordinated Time. Displayed in Gregorian format (1 Nov 2000 00:00:00.0000). Local time is as defined by the computer clock.
Gregorian UTCUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in Gregorian format (1 Nov 2000 00:00:00.0000).
Gregorian TDTUnitlessTextTerrestrial Dynamic Time (TDT), now replaced by Terrestrial Time (TT). Displayed in Gregorian format (1 Jul 2005 12:01:04.184). TDT is equal to Atomic Time (TAI) plus 32.184 seconds.
Gregorian TAIUnitlessTextInternational Atomic Time (TAI). Displayed in Gregorian format (1 Jul 2005 12:00:32.000). Can be defined by: TAI = TDT - 32.184 = UTC + (number of leap seconds).
Gregorian TDBUnitlessTextBarycentric Dynamical Time (TDB). Displayed in Gregorian format (1 Nov 2000 00:00:00.0000). Time scale associated with the solar system barycenter in general relativity. TDB is related to TDT by a periodic oscillation whose largest contribution arises from the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit about the Sun.
Julian LCLUnitlessTextLocal Coordinated Time. Displayed in day of year format, with two digits representing the year (182/05 08:00:00.000) (ddd/yy hh:mm:ss.sss). Local time is as defined by the computer clock.
Julian UTCUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in day of year format, with two digits representing the year (182/05 12:00:00.000) (ddd/yy hh:mm:ss.sss).
Julian4 UTCUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in day of year format, with four digits representing the year (306/2000 00:00:00.0000).
Julian TAIUnitlessTextInternational Atomic Time (TAI). Displayed in Julian Date format (182/05 12:00:32.000). Can be defined by: TAI = TDT - 32.184 = UTC + (number of leap seconds).
YYDDD.dddUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in SGP4 Epoch date format (05182.50000000).
YYYYDDD.hhmmssUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in YYYYDDD.hhmmss format (2005182.120000).
YYYYMMDD.dddUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in YYYYMMDD.ddd format (20050701.50000000)
DD/MM/YYYY TimeUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in the form DD/MM/YYYY and time (i.e. 01/07/2005 12:00:00.000).
YYYY/MM/DD TimeUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in YYYY/MM/DD format (2005/07/01 12:00:00.000)
YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS.sss TimeUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in the indicated format (2007:05:08:12:00:00.000).
Julian DateUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Displayed in the Julian Date format. The Julian Date is given as the number of days from GMT Noon on 1 January, 4713 B.C.
Jul Date OffsetUnitlessTextNumber of days elapsed past a user defined epoch.
Modified Julian DateUnitlessTextCoordinated Universal Time. Julian date, shifted by 2400000.5 days (i.e. MJD = JD - 2400000.5).
Julian Ephemeris DateUnitlessTextTerrestrial Dynamic Time (TDT), now replaced by Terrestrial Time (TT). Displayed in Julian Date format. TDT is equal to Atomic Time (TAI) plus 32.184 seconds.
Gregorian GPS TimeUnitlessTextGPS time. Displayed in Gregorian format. In STK, GPS time is defined as UTC plus the number of leap seconds since 1 Jan 1980.
GPS TimeUnitlessTextGPS time. Displayed as the weeks:seconds from 1 Jan 1980 00:00:00.00 (i.e. 1329:475213.000). In STK, GPS time is defined as UTC plus the number of leap seconds since 1 Jan 1980.
GPS Z CountUnitlessTextTime elapsed since the GPS reference epoch (1 Jan 1980 00:00:00.00 UTC), measured in 1.5 second incremements.
Mission ElapsedUnitlessTextTime elapsed past the scenario epoch. The format is number of days / time (121/18:30:00.000).
GMT SystemUnitlessTextGreenwich Mean Time (GMT) based on Coordinated Universal Time. The format is number of days / number of seconds and year (182/43200 2005).
Earth Canonical TimeUnitlessTextTime elapsed past the scenario epoch. Earth Canonical Time (ECT) is expressed in terms of ETC units where 1 ETC unit = 13.44686457 minutes.
Sun Canonical TimeUnitlessTextTime elapsed past the scenario epoch. Sun Canonical Time (SCT) is expressed in terms of STC units where 1 STC unit = approximately 1400 hours.
ISO8601 YMD UTCUnitlessTextUTC date and time formatted as YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss where YYYY is the 4 digit year, MM is the two digit month, DD is the 2 digit day of the month, HH is the two digit hour, mm is the two digit minute and SS.SSS is a floating point representation of seconds into the minute where the precision is specified via the time precision setting.
