Vehicles
There are a number of commands designed to help you to control the definition and graphical display of satellites, ground vehicles, aircraft, ships, missiles, and launch vehicles that can be executed through Connect.
Not all commands are available for all vehicle types.
| Command | Format | Description | Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| AddAttitude AngVels | AddAttitude <ObjectPath> AngVels {TimeLimitInstant} <XAngVel> <YAngVel> <ZAngVel> | Adds attitude data based on a time-ordered set of angular velocities. | 10 |
| AddAttitude CBFQuat | AddAttitude <ObjectPath> CBFQuat {StartTime} <Q1> <Q2> <Q3> <Q4> | Adds attitude data based on a time-ordered set of quaternions interpreted relative to CBF | 10 |
| AddAttitude DCM | AddAttitude <ObjectPath> DCM {StartTime} <Value1> <Value2> <Value3> <Value4> <Value5> <Value6> <Value7> <Value8> <Value9> | Add attitude data based on a direction cosine matrix | 10 |
| AddAttitude ECIYPR | AddAttitude <ObjectPath> ECIYPR {StartTime} {Sequence} <Yaw> <Pitch> <Roll> | Adds attitude data based on a time-ordered set of yaw, pitch, roll angles defined with respect to the central body inertial axes (CBI).Similarly to Euler angles, YPR angles specify attitude using three rotations in a chosen sequence: the rotation about the reference X axis is called roll (R), the rotation about the reference Y axis is called pitch (P), and the rotation about the reference Z axis is called yaw (Y). Sequences are identified using either numbers (1 is the X axis, 2 is the Y axis, 3 is the Z axis) or letters (R is the X axis, P is the Y axis, Y is the Z axis). Unlike Euler angles, the rotations are not made about axes defined by an earlier rotation. Instead, each rotation is made about the reference system's axes.In YPR angles, the names yaw, pitch, and roll do NOT refer to the angles normally used in aviation; the terms yaw, pitch, and roll in aviation refer to 321 Euler angles. | 10 |

Sequences are identified using either numbers (1 is the X axis, 2 is the Y axis, 3 is the Z axis) or letters (R is the X axis, P is the Y axis, Y is the Z axis). Unlike Euler angles, the rotations are not made about axes defined by an earlier rotation.
