MCS Ephemeris Time Intervals

Astrogator automatically generates time interval components for each segment in the MCS. These named intervals are based on the spacecraft ephemeris after running the MCS and generally correlate with the segment names. Transitory segments (e.g., target sequence iterations) used during the run of the MCS are not reflected in the interval list because they are discarded after the MCS run has completed.

If you change and re-run the MCS, the named intervals after the first changed segment are regenerated. These changes can, of course, impact any derived quantities of the intervals.
