Name Description
Active Constraints Lists the constraints that are considered when computing access for the object.
All Constraints Descriptions of all constraints available for this object and its parent object.
Angles Reports angle and its time rate of change rate. Angle must be defined in the Vector Geometry Tool.
Articulation Information concerning model articulations for this object.
Attitude Quaternions The attitude quaternion and angular velocity of the vehicle's body axes computed with respect to the vehicle's central body inertial coordinate system. The quaternion components q1, q2, and q3 are the vector components of the quaternion; q4 is the scalar part. The angular velocity is computed as observed from the inertial frame but resolved into body axes components.
Attitude Segment Schedule The list of attitude segments describing the attitude for this object. Each segment is valid over its defined interval.
Attitude YPR The attitude of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle's central body inertial coordinate system, expressed using YPR angles.

Similar to Euler angles, YPR angles specify attitude using three rotations in sequence: a rotation about the reference X axis is called roll (R), a rotation about the reference Y axis is called pitch (P), and a rotation about the reference 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.

As used 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.

Eclipse Definition The bodies considered when computing eclipse and lighting times.
Eclipse Summary Provides summary information for each eclipse. Note that the Eclipse Summary data provider reports the start and stop times of penumbra which, if umbra exists, occur before and after umbra, respectively. This means that if the Eclipse Summary is generated in cases when it starts in umbra, then the start of penumbra is reported as "No Data" because it occurred prior to the start of reported data.
Eclipse Times Generates a listing of all eclipse events. Eclipsing events are start and end of periods of partial lighting (penumbra) and periods of zero lighting (umbra).

Euler Angles The attitude of the vehicle (i.e., the rotation between the vehicle's body axes and the vehicle' central body's inertial frame) expressed using Euler angles. Euler angles use a sequence of three rotations starting from a reference coordinate frame. The rotations are performed in succession: each rotation is relative to the frame resulting from any previous rotations. The sequence of three rotations is indicated by a integer sequence where the X axis is 1, Y axis is 2, and Z axis is 3. For example, a 313 sequence uses Z, then the new X, and then finally the newest Z axis.

Lighting Times Generates a listing of all lighting events. Lighting events are start and end of periods of full lighting (sunlight), partial lighting (penumbra) and periods of zero lighting (umbra). Note that the Lighting Times data provider reports all computed penumbra intervals, which means that if umbra exists, then two penumbra intervals, each with its own start and stop times, is reported--one before and one after the umbra interval. So, if lighting times that start in umbra are generated, then the first reported penumbra interval corresponds to the times that follow after the first umbra, and the penumbra interval prior to the first umbra is not reported.
Mixed Spherical Elements The position and velocity of the object, expressed in mixed spherical elements, as a function of time. The position is expressed using LLA elements, with respect to the vehicle's central body fixed coordinate system -- the requested coordinate system is immaterial.

The covariance is transformed into the requested reference frame using a 6x6 block diagonal transformation matrix consisting of two 3x3 coordinate transformation matrices along the diagonal.

The result of this transformation is that the original covariance is simply expressed relative to the new axes and the effects of the rotation of the axes are ignored.

Any set of axes defined in the Vector Geometry Tool is available for use, including user defined sets. The data requires position/velocity covariance to be defined for the object.

Pos Vel Rotated Covariance Provides data about position/velocity covariance matrix relative to selected set of axes.

The covariance is transformed into the requested reference frame using a 6x6 transformation matrix consisting of two 3x3 coordinate transformation matrices along the diagonal and the skew-symmetric 3x3 matrix representing the angular velocity between the axes in the lower left.

The result of this transformation is that the original covariance is re-expressed relative to the new axes including the effects of the rotation of the axes. The resultant covariance matrix represents the uncertainty of the position/velocity expressed in the new axes.

Propagator Inputs Parameters used by the specified propagator to propagate the vehicle.
Relative Motion The relative ephemeris of the assigned object with respect to the primary object, expressed in Cartesian components, as a function of time.

The relative ephemeris is computed with respect to two rotating frames, the RIC (Radial, In-Track, Cross-Track) frame and the NTC (Normal, Tangential, and Cross-Track) frames, that are defined using the primary's ephemeris.

Cross-track refers to the direction perpendicular to the position and inertial velocity; in-track refers to the direction perpendicular to both the radial and cross-track (positive in the direction of motion); tangential refers to the direction along the velocity vector; and normal refers to the direction perpendicular to the velocity and cross-track directions (positive outward along radial).

If the ephemeris times of the assigned object do not match those of the primary object, then the ephemeris of the assigned object is interpolated to the ephemeris times of the primary object. This can lead to nonzero values reported between primary and assigned objects that should be at the same position.

SEET Debris Flux Computes the total debris flux of all particulates. The debris model is valid only for near-circular orbits at altitudes between roughly 300 km and 2250 km. Because the model was created using averages over long time periods (e.g., many months or a few years), it is not appropriate to output a flux value at any given time - there really is no information in different evaluations of the model over short time spans. Hence, the debris flux is evaluated at just 1 sample per requested time interval, at the midpoint of the interval. Valid for vehicles whose central body is earth.

Vectors(VVLH(CBF)) Reports the selected vector and its derivative in the object's VVLH(CBF) axes. The vector must be defined in the Vector Geometry Tool.
Vectors(VVLH) Reports the selected vector and its derivative in the object's VVLH axes. The vector must be defined in the Vector Geometry Tool.
Velocity Projected Covariance Provides data about velocity covariance matrix relative to selected set of axes. The covariance is transformed into the requested reference frame using a 3x3 coordinate transformation matrix. The result of this transformation is that the original covariance is simply expressed relative to the new axes and the effects of the rotation of the axes are ignored. Any set of axes defined in the Vector Geometry Tool is available for use, including user defined sets. The data requires position/velocity covariance to be defined for the object.
