Sat Angles Data
Reports angles to the target object from the base object of an access, with respect to the base object's local CBI VVLH frame (i.e., VVLH axes based on the CBI velocity of the base object).Available for these objects: Access
Type: Time-varying data.
Availability: Reports | Graphs | Dynamic Displays | Strip Charts
Data Provider Elements
| Name | Dimension | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access Number | Unitless | Integer | A count of the intervals. |
| Time | Date | Real Number or Text | Time. |
| Along Track | Angle | Real Number or Text | The apparent angle to the target, measured from the plane containing the base object's CBI velocity and perpendicular to the plane of its motion. |
| Cross Track | Angle | Real Number or Text | The apparent angle to the target, measured as a clock angle around the base object's CBI velocity vector. The zero reference is angular momentum vector (the vector perpendicular to the plane of motion). |
| Range | Distance | Real Number | The range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time. |
| RangeRate | Rate | Real Number | The rate of change of the magnitude of the relative position vector. |
| Path Delay | Time | Real Number | The apparent range between the objects divided by the speed of light. |
