rTitleElementTypeDimensionDescription
1ElevationElevationReal Number or TextAngleThe angle from the X-Y plane to the apparent position vector, measured positive in the -Z direction except for the BodyFixed frame where it is measured positive in the +Z direction. Values range from -90 degrees at the nadir to +90 degrees at the zenith.

Angle

ThetaTitleElementTypeDimensionDescription
1AzimuthAzimuthReal Number or TextAngleThe angle measured to the projection of the apparent position vector into the X-Y plane from +X in a right handed sense about +Z. The +X direction has an azimuth of zero and +Y has an azimuth of 90 degrees.
