Target Times
The start and stop times specified in the list are the time intervals during which the sensor or satellite can access a particular object.
Option | Description |

Use Access Times |
Uses the access times between the satellite or sensor and the selected target as the scheduled times. When using target access times, the following methodology will be used to resolve target pointing at times when the sensor could point towards more than one target. The sensor will point to the target that is visible at the current time and has the earliest access start time of all targets visible at the current time. The sensor will not switch targets until the end of the access interval for the current target selection. |
Scheduled Times | You can modify the scheduled times by disabling Use Access Times.
To add a scheduled time:
To load an interval (.int) file:
To import STK Analysis Workbench Time Tool interval component data:
To change a scheduled time:
To remove a scheduled time:
To remove all scheduled times, click Remove All. |
Deconflict | Use the Deconflict options to resolve interval overlaps.
Intervals are ordered by increasing start time. Adjacent intervals where the first interval end time is within the second interval timeframe, the midpoint of the overlap is determined and set as the end time of the first interval and the start time of the second interval. Adjacent intervals where the first interval completely contains the second interval has the first interval split into two new intervals that correspond with the time frames of the original interval that occured before and after the second interval; the second interval is retained in its entirety. Adjacent intervals that do not overlap remain unchanged. Visual example of interval changes |
Once you have disabled the Use Access Times option and have made any edits in the Scheduled Times table, further use of Use Access Times is precluded for targets that are already assigned or for any new ones you may add. To restore that option, move all assigned targets to the available targets list and click OK or Apply. Then move them back to the Assigned Targets list.
