Data Provider Elements

NameDimensionTypeDescription
Access NumberUnitlessIntegerA count of the intervals.
TimeDateReal Number or TextTime.
AzimuthLongitudeReal Number or TextDihedral angle between north vector and velocity vector about the detic nadir vector. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
ElevationAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the velocity vector and the local horizontal plane. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Angle Off BoresightAngleReal Number or TextThe complimentary angle to the elevation (i.e., 90 deg minus the elevation).
Horizontal AngleAngleReal Number or TextThe apparent angle to the target object from the base object, defined by arctan(cos(azimuth)/tan(elevation)).
Vertical AngleAngleReal Number or TextThe apparent angle to the target object from the base object, defined by arctan(sin(azimuth)/tan(elevation)).
RangeDistanceReal NumberThe range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time.
Distance Off BoresightUnitlessReal NumberThe apparent angle to the target object from the base object, defined by tan(angle off boresight).
