Report Style: Accel File Python

Creates an acceleration history file to model manuevers for use in ODTK. Uses a data provider to compute thrust, mass, and mass flow rate over time, and then uses a python script to format that content into a collection of *.accelHist files, output to the directory C:\AccelFiles, one file per maneuver. Python, including pandas, must be installed on your computer and the extension *.py must be associated with python.exe.

Data Provider:Astrogator Maneuver Ephemeris Block History

Groups:Maneuver , Top

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

Availability: Reports

Column Listing

Column	Column Name	Folder	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Time	Top	Time	Real Number or Text	Date	Time.
2	Epoch	Top	Epoch	Real Number or Text	Date	The reference epoch for the object.
3	Thrust_Vector_X	Maneuver	Thrust_Vector_X	Real Number	Force	The X component of the total thrust vector. The Calc Object allows a choice of coordinate systems. The default is Earth ICRF.
4	Thrust_Vector_Y	Maneuver	Thrust_Vector_Y	Real Number	Force	The Y component of the total thrust vector. The Calc Object allows a choice of coordinate systems. The default is Earth ICRF.
5	Thrust_Vector_Z	Maneuver	Thrust_Vector_Z	Real Number	Force	The Z component of the total thrust vector. The Calc Object allows a choice of coordinate systems. The default is Earth ICRF.
6	Total_Mass	Maneuver	Total_Mass	Real Number	Mass	Total mass (fuel plus dry mass).
7	Total_Mass_Flow_Rate	Maneuver	Total_Mass_Flow_Rate	Real Number	Mass Per Time	The total mass flow rate, accounting for all engines, during a maneuver.
