Graph Style: Lifetime

A plot of the apogee height, perigee height, and eccentricity of the object over time, as computed using the Lifetime Tool.

Data Provider:Lifetime

Type: Time-varying data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.

Y Axis

Curve	Title	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Height of Apogee	Height of Apogee	Real Number	Distance	The difference between the apogee radius and the equatorial radius of the vehicle's central body (an approximation for the altitude).
2	Height of Perigee	Height of Perigee	Real Number	Distance	The difference between the perigee radius and the equatorial radius of the vehicle's central body (an approximation for the altitude).

Y2 Axis

Curve	Title	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Eccentricity	Eccentricity	Real Number	Unitless	A measure of the shape of the orbit. Values <1 indicate an ellipse (where zero is a circular orbit) and values >1 indicate a hyperbola.
