TCA Ephemeris Data

Reports data at the time of closest approach over each strand access interval, for all strands that have just two objects. The 'From-object' is the first object listed in the strand; the 'To-object' is the second object listed. Values are reported for each strand access interval that lies within the requested report intervals.

Available for these objects: Chain

Type: Interval data.

Availability: Reports

NameDimensionTypeDescription
Strand NameUnitlessTextThe name of object.
Time of Closest ApproachDateReal Number or TextThe time during each strand access interval at which the closest approach occurs (i.e., the range between the objects is at a minimum).
RangeDistanceReal NumberThe range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time.
From Object-XDistanceReal NumberThe X component of the position vector at the time of closest approach of the From-object expressed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system.
From Object-YDistanceReal NumberThe Y component of the position vector at the time of closest approach of the From-object expressed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system.
From Object-ZDistanceReal NumberThe Z component of the position vector at the time of closest approach of the From-object expressed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system.
From Object-vXRateReal NumberThe X component of the velocity vector at the time of closest approach of the From-object as observed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system and expressed using those components.
From Object-vYRateReal NumberThe Y component of the velocity vector at the time of closest approach of the From-object as observed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system and expressed using those components.
From Object-vZRateReal NumberThe Z component of the velocity vector at the time of closest approach of the From-object as observed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system and expressed using those components.
To Object-XDistanceReal NumberThe X component of the position vector at the time of closest approach of the To-object expressed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system.

To Object-ZDistanceReal NumberThe Z component of the position vector at the time of closest approach of the To-object expressed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system.
To Object-vXRateReal NumberThe X component of the velocity vector at the time of closest approach of the To-object as observed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system and expressed using those components.
To Object-vYRateReal NumberThe Y component of the velocity vector at the time of closest approach of the To-object as observed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system and expressed using those components.
To Object-vZRateReal NumberThe Z component of the velocity vector at the time of closest approach of the To-object as observed in the object's central body Fixed coordinate system and expressed using those components.
