Report Style: State Transition Matrix

The 6x6 State Transition Matrix (STM) for the cartesian position and velocity, formatted as text lines that align columns for better readability. The STM describes the effect of position-velocity perturbations made at the start of propagation on the position-velocity state at the reported time. The coordinate system of the STM is required pre-data for this data provider. Updated data is generated only for segments with a propagator that has a State TransitionMatrix propagator function.

Data Provider:State Transition Matrix

Type: Time-varying data.

Column Listing for Line 1

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Time	Time	Real Number or Text	Date	Time.
2	Cartesian State Transition Matrix	STM Line1	Text	Unitless	The first line of the Cartesian STM. Each column within the line contains an element of the STM. The column value associates delta(PosX, tf) [the perturbation in PosX at the reported time] with delta(z_i, ti) [the perturbation in the position-velocity state element corresponding to the column, at time ti], i.e., delta(PosX, tf) = [col value] * delta(z_i, ti), where ti is the time at the start of propagation, tf is the reported time, and delta(z_i,t) represents a small perturbation in component z_i at time t., where z=(PosX, PosY, PosZ, VelX, VelY, VelZ).

Column Listing for Line 2

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1		STM Line2	Text	Unitless	The second line of the Cartesian STM. Each column within the line contains an element of the STM. The column value associates delta(PosY, tf) [the perturbation in PosY at the reported time] with delta(z_i, ti) [the perturbation in the position-velocity state element corresponding to the column, at time ti], i.e., delta(PosY, tf) = [col value] * delta(z_i, ti), where ti is the time at the start of propagation, tf is the reported time, and delta(z_i,t) represents a small perturbation in component z_i at time t., where z=(PosX, PosY, PosZ, VelX, VelY, VelZ).

Column Listing for Line 3

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1		STM Line3	Text	Unitless	The third line of the Cartesian STM. Each column within the line contains an element of the STM. The column value associates delta(PosZ, tf) [the perturbation in PosZ at the reported time] with delta(z_i, ti) [the perturbation in the position-velocity state element corresponding to the column, at time ti], i.e., delta(PosZ, tf) = [col value] * delta(z_i, ti), where ti is the time at the start of propagation, tf is the reported time, and delta(z_i,t) represents a small perturbation in component z_i at time t., where z=(PosX, PosY, PosZ, VelX, VelY, VelZ).

Column Listing for Line 4

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1		STM Line4	Text	Unitless	The fourth line of the Cartesian STM. Each column within the line contains an element of the STM. The column value associates delta(VelX, tf) [the perturbation in VelX at the reported time] with delta(z_i, ti) [the perturbation in the position-velocity state element corresponding to the column, at time ti], i.e., delta(VelX, tf) = [col value] * delta(z_i, ti), where ti is the time at the start of propagation, tf is the reported time, and delta(z_i,t) represents a small perturbation in component z_i at time t., where z=(PosX, PosY, PosZ, VelX, VelY, VelZ).

Column Listing for Line 5

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1		STM Line5	Text	Unitless	The fifth line of the Cartesian STM. Each column within the line contains an element of the STM. The column value associates delta(VelY, tf) [the perturbation in VelY at the reported time] with delta(z_i, ti) [the perturbation in the position-velocity state element corresponding to the column, at time ti], i.e., delta(VelY, tf) = [col value] * delta(z_i, ti), where ti is the time at the start of propagation, tf is the reported time, and delta(z_i,t) represents a small perturbation in component z_i at time t., where z=(PosX, PosY, PosZ, VelX, VelY, VelZ).

Column Listing for Line 6

Column	Column Name	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1		STM Line6	Text	Unitless	The sixth line of the Cartesian STM. Each column within the line contains an element of the STM. The column value associates delta(VelZ, tf) [the perturbation in VelZ at the reported time] with delta(z_i, ti) [the perturbation in the position-velocity state element corresponding to the column, at time ti], i.e., delta(VelZ, tf) = [col value] * delta(z_i, ti), where ti is the time at the start of propagation, tf is the reported time, and delta(z_i,t) represents a small perturbation in component z_i at time t., where z=(PosX, PosY, PosZ, VelX, VelY, VelZ).
