Report Style: Swath Points

The location of the object's horizon on the central body surface that is to the side of the motion of the object, reported as left and right horizon points over time. The left horizon point is on the left side of the horizontal component of velocity vector, where the velocity vector is measured as observed from the object's central body fixed coordinate system. The horizontal component is that component not along the detic zenith of the object. The right horizon point is on the right side.

For the Ground Elevation Envelope or Vehicle Half Angle Envelope swath types, the left/right swath point may not exist. If it does not, the point being reported at that time uses the Ground Elevation or Vehicle Half Angle swath setting as appropriate.

Column Listing

Column	Column Name	Folder	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Time	Left Swath	Time	Real Number or Text	Date	Time.
2	Lat	Left Swath	Lat	Real Number or Text	Latitude	The detic latitude (i.e., angle between the detic subpoint's surface normal vector and the XY plane.).
3	Lon	Left Swath	Lon	Real Number or Text	Longitude	The detic longitude (i.e., angle from the X-axis locating the projection of the detic subpoint's surface normal vector onto the XY plane.) Longitude increases in the direction found using the right-hand rule about the Z-axis.
4	Rad	Left Swath	Rad	Real Number	Distance	The radius value (i.e. magnitude of the position vector).
5	Elevation	Left Swath	Elevation	Real Number or Text	Angle	Angle 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.
6	Half_Angle	Left Swath	Half Angle	Real Number or Text	Angle	The angle between the surface normal at the detic subpoint of the object and the relative position between the object and swath point.
7	Distance	Left Swath	Distance	Real Number	Distance	Distance between the center of the reference plane and the projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
8	Lat	Right Swath	Lat	Real Number or Text	Latitude	The detic latitude (i.e., angle between the detic subpoint's surface normal vector and the XY plane.).
9	Lon	Right Swath	Lon	Real Number or Text	Longitude	The detic longitude (i.e., angle from the X-axis locating the projection of the detic subpoint's surface normal vector onto the XY plane.) Longitude increases in the direction found using the right-hand rule about the Z-axis.
10	Rad	Right Swath	Rad	Real Number	Distance	The radius value (i.e. magnitude of the position vector).
11	Elevation	Right Swath	Elevation	Real Number or Text	Angle	Angle 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.
12	Half_Angle	Right Swath	Half Angle	Real Number or Text	Angle	The angle between the surface normal at the detic subpoint of the object and the relative position between the object and swath point.
13	Distance	Right Swath	Distance	Real Number	Distance	Distance between the center of the reference plane and the projection of the selected point onto the reference plane.
