Column Listing

ColumnColumn NameElementTypeDimensionDescription
1Time of Ascen NodeTime of Ascen NodeReal Number or TextDateThe time when the satellite is at the ascending node (i.e., the Z component of the position vector increases through zero). The position vector is expressed in the coordinate system specified on the pass break settings of the satellite. If the orbit is nearly equatorial, the value will not be computed.

This behaves differently from the Passes data provider which will use the inertial position if the pass break setting is set to Fixed.
